Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Born in November 2008, American pop-rock artist and actress Ashlee Simpson-Wentz (as she is now professionally known) and her Fall Out Boy bassist hubby Pete Wentz named their son what?

Answer: Bronx Mowgli

The name Bronx was chosen as Pete wanted his son to have a name that could be that of a rockstar or a senator, and Mowgli is obviously after the character in "The Jungle Book".
2. Kingston Rossdale became a big brother when his Mommy had her second son with husband Gavin Rossdale, lead singer and guitarist of Brit rock band Bush. What is the interesting name they gave him?

Answer: Zuma Nesta

Zuma's mother is front woman of ska punk band No Doubt (now solo artist) and fashion designer Gwen Stefani.
Born 21st August 2008, Zuma Beach in Malibu was the inspiration for his first name, and Nesta is for Bob Marley, which is his real first name. One of Gwen's No Doubt bandmate's wife came up with the name Zuma (She was also pregnant at the time) but chose not to use it.
3. Jason Lee is the funny guy who makes us all laugh on "My Name Is Earl"; he is a follower of Scientology and he used to be a professional skateboarder. What strange moniker did he bestow upon his first-born?

Answer: Pilot Inspektor

Born 28th September 2003 to Jason and actress Beth Riesgraf, Pilot was named after his parents heard the song by American indie-rock group Grandaddy, "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot"(2000).
4. This guy may be a magician, performing regularly as part of a duo with his mainly silent side-kick in Las Vegas since the late '70s, but what kind of gag is it when you name your daughter Moxie CrimeFighter and your son Zolten? Which illusionist blessed his children with these colourful names?

Answer: Penn Jillette

Penn's wife Emily had Moxie CrimeFighter (Yes the F must be a capital) on 3rd June 2005 and Zolten Penn on 22nd May 2006. Moxie comes from the name of a soft drink, and her middle name was chosen because her parents wanted to have fun with it. Zolten is Emily's maiden name and, according to Jillette, the name of Dracula's dog.
5. Hawaiian born actress and former model Shannyn Sossamon named her son after flicking through a dictionary. Which name did her finger end up on?

Answer: Audio Science

Sossamon found fame after starring in her first movie "A Knight's Tale"(2001) and has since featured in numerous more movies, television shows and music videos. Audio's birthdate is 29th May 2003. Shannyn and her partner Dallas Clayton chose the name Science out of a dictionary but decided against it as a first name because they didn't want him to be nicknamed Sci (as in Simon).

Therefore Audio became his first name. They had wanted a word, not a name.
6. Television and film actress, avid Scientologist and human rights ambassador Jenna Elfman started her career as a professional dancer appearing in the music video for UK band Depeche Mode's 1990 song "Halo". She and her husband Bodhi had chosen their son's name long before his birth. What is his name?

Answer: Story Elias

Jenna is probably best known for her role in ABCs sitcom "Dharma & Greg"(1997-2002).
Born 23rd July 2007, Story was named because his parents really liked the name. He had been named before he had even been conceived.
7. Gorgeous little Ever Gabo Anderson is the first daughter of which fashion designer, supermodel and big screen actress?

Answer: Milla Jovovich

Milla - star of "Resident Evil"(2002), "Resident Evil-Apocalypse"(2004) and "Resident Evil-Extinction"(2007), and her fiancé Paul Anderson chose the name Ever, traditionally a Scottish male name as a nod to Paul's Scottish genealogy. Gabo is an amalgamation of Milla's parent's names, mother Galina and father Bogic. Ever was born 3rd November 2007.
8. Oldies but goodies - the Zappa family. These siblings have some of the most uncommon names you could think of, yet one of them was registered at birth by the rather straight-laced name of Ian Donald Calvin Euclid Zappa. He makes his career in the field of music, choosing rock and heavy metal as his preferred style. Which one of these was it?

Answer: Dweezil

The hospital at which Dweezil was born would not allow his parents to register him under such a name. Therefore his more acceptable name was registered. He later changed it. Having such a different name did not deter Dweezil at all from naming his daughters Zola Frank and Ceylon.
9. Which of the Phoenix siblings was born with one name, went by the name Leaf early on in their life, but changed it back to their proper name again?

Answer: Joaquin Rafael

Joaquin is credited as a musician and actor starring in movies such as "Gladiator"(2000) and "Signs"(2002).
After being a part of the religious cult the Children of God, the family left it and changed their surname from Bottom to Phoenix (their mother's maiden name) as a sign of new beginnings.
10. Not so much strange names, but still plain weird. A former heavyweight boxer who now makes his money marketing a small kitchen appliance brandishing his name. This George has ten children, five sons and five daughters. Seven of his children are named George or a variation of George. Who was not very original when it came to naming his huge brood?

Answer: George Foreman

By George, Christmas must be a nightmare at the Foreman house. There are sons George Jnr. (Little George), George III (Monk), George IV (Big Wheel), George V (Red) and George VI (Joe). Then there are daughters Georgetta and Freda George. Pheeewwww.
