Nic Cage a Superman fan?

[sniffles]

Oh, I got that one beat. I saw a birth announcement years ago in a newspaper for a little girl named (first and middle name) Leather Princess.

Why not just name your kid "Porn Star" or "Stripper"?

Ew!!

I think Mr. Cage's choice of name for his offspring is tied for stupidity with Jason Lee's son, Pilot Inspektor.

Yes, that is the child's name, and no, I did not misspell Inspektor.

Why? Because a girl named Eve might take a bite out of him?

Gwynneth Paltrow named her daughter "Apple." I think that's what TW's referring to. And it gives me a Spock-eyebrow to think of it, also.

There was a "Family Reader" Sunday Circular recently that had the names of several celebrities' recent children, and it freaked me out.

Paltrow has 'Apple'
Shannyn Sossamon has 'Audio Science'
Rachel Griffiths has 'Banjo' (images of Order of the Stick forming!)
David Bowie had 'Zowie'
Demi Moore had 'Rumer'
Paula Yates (unfamiliar with her) has "Fifi Trixibelle' and 'Tiger Lily Heavenly Hirani'

Come to think of it, Kal-el sounds tame, in comparison.

A guy on another forum said that now he's going to rush to conceive a son with his wife so he can name him "Zod" and teach him to pick on Nic Cage's son.

"Kneel son of Nic Cage! Kneel before ZOD. . . Smith!"

I hope that's a middle name.

That was a condition of his wife's approval.

O_O Poor, poor girl.

Ayup.


You know, I would poach some of these names for my D&D games, but they're too weird.

 

[Viking Bastard]

Y'know, I don't think Apple is really that bad. It works as a name.

 

[GrayLinnorm]

There are also Julia Roberts' kids Hazel and Phinneas, and Penn Gillette's daughter Moxie Crimefighter.

These probably aren't as bad as the father who named his son [father's name, I forgot what it was, but it wasn't anybody famous] 2.0. How did he get his wife to go along with that?

And I don't see the problem with Augustus. It's a rather... august name!

Hmm... Seeing that both Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were Jewish, and knowing that the suffix '-el' in Hebrew means 'God', I wonder if Kal-El (or Kalel, or Calel) means anything in Hebrew...

Well, you have the angels Gabriel, Michael, Uriel... adding Kal-el would kinda fit.

It's in fact a somewhat common name in Iceland.
