Answer

The name of the 5th child is "The 5th."

Explanation

This question is a riddle, which is a type of puzzle or brain teaser. The key to solving this riddle lies in understanding the pattern and the play on words. Penny has five children, and the first four are named after the first four months of the year: January, February, March, and April. The riddle cleverly leads the reader to assume that the fifth child would also be named after a month, likely May. However, the actual question asked is "What is the name of the 5th." Here, the answer is hidden in the phrasing of the question itself. The phrase "the 5th" is not referring to the fifth month, but rather it is directly stating the name of the fifth child. Therefore, the name of the fifth child is "The 5th." The additional letters "PEAD CAPEFU UYY" at the end of the question seem to be irrelevant to the riddle and do not form any recognizable pattern or word, suggesting they are either a distraction or a typo.
