You're kidding me, right? Nicolas Cage named his son Kal-el?

I can't decide whether I think that's embarrassing or pretty much the coolest Hollywood baby name I've seen all year long. (And the kid's even got the same alliterative "C" sound thing going on with his name. HEE!)

That's almost as cool as Harley Quinn Smith, but not quite.

Or Moxie Crimefighter Jillette.

I think it may top Pilot Inspektor Lee, though.

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

But nothing beats Sooking Aycock.

Except maybe Audio Science Clayton.

The only thing that would be cooler would be if he were called Kon-El.

Thirty years from now, we'll be hearing about him and his bald boyfriend's new baby boy.

Every now and again, I have to stop what I'm doing at just marvel at the fact that DC had Superman and Lex Luthor have a baby!

Because, damn. That's some cracky crack.

What? See, this is what I miss when I try to have a life outside of fandom. *sigh*

I didn't know Nic Cage was from the planet Krypton, but then, there are a lot of things I don't know.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

He's not.

He's from the planet OMGtehFanboyenthusiasm!!one!11eleventy!1!!

I sure hope he grows up in Hollywood. Anywhere else, he'd get beat up and have his lunch money stolen for having that name.

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

Wow. Well, I knew he was weird, but ...

Seriously, Kal-El?

[kouryou.livejournal.com]

Considering that Niccy himself decided not to go with Uncle Ford Coppola's reputation and changed his name to 'Cage' from none other than Marvel Comics' 'Luke Cage' (yeah, aka Power Man)...

... I'm really not all that surprised.

Same reaction here, I'm waffling between "horrifying" and "coolest thing EVER" ;)

[cikevin.livejournal.com]

I'm going to go with "cool" on this one. That's a name to live up to, unlike "Apple" or something. :)

[catystorm.livejournal.com]

...

Only in Hollywood.

Actually, a couple of our friends from college named their son the same--she named their daughter, so he got to name their son. They call him "Kal", which I think is darn cute.

[ladynaberrie.livejournal.com]

It's still less weird than naming your kid Apple.

[seferin.livejournal.com]

That's a wedgie waiting to happen. Plus, what women could really let go and scream "Oh G-d, Calel, fuck me harder you Superman, yes like that?"

That kid is either going to die a virgin, or make Casanova look like an amateur.

[agonystar.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, that's sad.

Sounds like the name of a bad guy from a Superman movie.

[gruyere.livejournal.com]

...you do realize that Kal-El is Superman's real name, right?

[tygerinthehat.livejournal.com]

Guess he REALLY wanted the role of Superman huh? That's still not weirder that Shannyn Sossamon naming her little boy Audio Science. That's just plain strange.

So, how much do you think his dad's fame will protect him against the inevitable schoolyard beatings?

Then again, he'll probably go to school with a lot of celebrity brats named Mango and Amsterdam, so maybe he'll blend in.

[kanedax.livejournal.com]

I think I'm gonna have to lean towards cool. But if he had gone more along the lines of Harley Quinn Smith and named his kid Calvin Louis Cage, or something. Then the kid wouldn't be beaten up in high school, but he could still be Cal L. Cage.
