The young lass is named Aidia McKenzie Murray (Adia, like the Sarah McLachlan song?) and was born March 11, 2008.  Obviously, he has had more important things to worry about as of late.  She weighed in at 6lbs, 130z.  Congratulations Dennis, and thank you for not giving nerds the world over a bad name by giving you kid, well, a bad name like Princess Peach or Master Chief.
