Geez, they actually named him Kal-el? That's terrible.

 

[MarkHastings]

I don't get it...Oh, now I do

 

[Jason Seaver]

Nah, Mxyzptlk would have been terrible. This guy will probably just be "Cal" by the time he gets to school.

 

[Haggai]

Yeah, it's not the worst name they could give him, but it's still pretty lame.

Ironically, Nic Cage did an SNL skit many years ago about a dad who's terribly picky about the names his wife is suggesting for their newborn son. She keeps suggesting ordinary names, but he always says something like, "no, not Robert, the other kids'll just call him Bob the Slob...not Joe, they'll call him Slow Joe." Every plain-sounding name has some possible insult that he's worried about. Eventually they fade to a couple of days later, and the mailman comes in with a present addressed to "Asswipe Jackson" (or whatever their last name was). The skit ends with Cage protesting, "It's pronounced ah-ZWEE-pay!!"

 

[Richard Travale]

Which is why all of these fake names should be outlawed!!!

There are times when I think that famous people shouldn't reproduce. This is one of those times.

Three things one could assume:

1) Cage is suffering from delusions of grandeur.
2) He's bitter from losing the Superman role.
3) He's wack.

I'll take 2 for $500 Alex.

Better than CrimeFighter!... Better than Apple!... Give Nicolas Cage the big fluffy bear cause he just won the Celebrity Crazy Baby Name Game hands down.

Kal-El Coppola Cage wins a lifetime supply of intensive therapy.

That poor kid's gonna wish he had super powers when he's getting his ass beat everyday in school, and Jor-El, er, um, I mean Nick, won't be anywhere around to help him.

 

[Lucia Duran]

I must be the only one that actually likes the name. If had a son, I'd name him Lex!

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

He'll probably be going to a celebrity's kids private school, though. Who's gonna beat his ass? Twig or Mellow Starshine?

 

[James T]

I'm a geek, but not a big enough geek to name my kid Kal-El. Cage's gots some brass to name his kid that knowing his kid will get bullied at school b/c of the Superman connection.

There's plenty of terrible names he could have chosen(Jermajesty, Apple, Coco, etc.)

 

[Paul McElligott]

George Foreman, who only named all five of his sons George, is looking more normal all the time.

 

[Chris Lockwood]

Why couldn't the Cages just name their son Dylan like every other family in America?

 

[Chu Gai]

I hope the kid grows up to be a transvestite.

 

[Jason Seaver]

We are talking about a guy who named himself after Luke Cage, hero-for-hire.

 

[Paul Padilla]

My sister's youngest son (now in his 20's) has the middle name of Jorel. No hyphen, and not his first name, but it's there.

We come from a long line of sci-fi geeks. :alien:

The truth is out there.

Frodo or Bilbo would be worse
