Baby name or band I found on MySpace?

So it seems that all my friends have gone and had babies lately. For the most part they have chosen names from the top half of the popular names list - solid, sensible, classic names. Boring!

With a few more babies due this spring, I felt it was time to seed the minds of future parents with some celebrity-inspired baby names. With thanks to 6Music’s Jon Holmes, here is Bawley’s "Baby Name or Band I Found on MySpace?" Quiz.

Example:
Bluebell Madonna...baby name…daughter of former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell
Alexisonfire...band…post hardcore band who describe their music as "the sound of two Catholic high-school girls in mid-knife-fight"
Lets see how you go with the rest:

(UPDATED WITH ANSWERS)
James…band...with a very dull name
TAIO CRUZ…band...UK Urbanistas
Moxie Crimefighter...baby name...daughter of Aristocrats producer Penn Jillette
Memphis Eve...baby name...daughter of Irish dooche bag Bono
Jermajesty...baby name...son of Jermain Jackson
Moon Unit...baby name...Frank Zappa's oldest daughter
Diva Thin Muffin…baby name...daughter of Frank Zappa, secretly pleased ‘Moon Unit’ was already taken.

Dude, please, please, please, go with Jazz Domino! I'm sure the Strummer estate won't mind sharing it with you!
