Name That Baby So - Nicholas Cage named his new baby Kal-El. For those of you not in the know, Kal-El is the real name of everybody's favorite tight wearing hero, Superman. That's right, he named his baby after a comic book super hero. Now, I like comic books just fine, and think that naming a child after somebody is fine and dandy, but if you're gonna name your kid after somebody I really think it's important to, you know, name them after somebody who exists. Also, when he gets into school and he responds to the question, "What kind of name is Kal-El?" with, "It's, uh, Superman's real name." there's no way he's not going to get punched in the gut while the assailant yells, "You don’t look so super to me!" Cage's son or not, it's gonna happen. In an interesting twist I hear that Cage's thespian rival, Johnny Depp, is planning on naming his next child Mr. Mxyzptlk*. If you know how to pronounce that name congratulations. You're a huge dork!
