Nick Cage obviously hates his son

I mean really...Kal El Coppola Cage. That's so wrong I don't know where to start.

Convo thread, anybody?

Billuccho!

Yeah. "Luke" would've made more sense, right?

Jon Bogdanove named his kid Kal-El ages ago and no one cared. Le sigh.

Kirk Ultra

Naming his son Kal-El is the coolest thing ever. I have to salute him for it.

Penn Jillette (I don't remember how his last name's spelled) from Penn and Teller named his daughter Moxie Crimefighter.

I'm gonna name my kids Navanal and Supafly.

And maybe The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight.

This thread is too priceless...it needs more exposure over at Convo.

Cal is not an uncommon name in the US.

Or maybe they'll just call him El? Then if he becomes a pirate he could be Bloody El.

Jesus Oddman, was that a Weird Al reference right above a Tick reference?

All hail Ming.

I think its the best thing anyone could do for their son. Its obvious that he's using the 'Boy Named Sue' method of child rasing.

All hail Ming the Merciless!

Anyway, I'm just amused. I never knew that Nicholas Cage was such a nerd. I mean...he legally changed his last name to that of his favourite superhero!

Everybody will mistake it for Carl or Kyle.

And Carl Cage sound like a name for a wrestler.

[sigh]

You have all misunderstood, as usual. It's the Mexican-Italian roots of the Coppolas. Cage and his missus have called the kid 'Kal', and given him as a middle name the full version of his mother's family name - "El Coppola".

There now. Isn't that better?

No, he´s done it, because he still hasn´t given up hope, that one day he will get to play Clark Kent (with that receding harline? Never!).

Thinking about this made me wonder about something.

Superman = internationally adopted kid. Birth name, Kal-El; American name, Clark Kent.

Some of his superhero buddies call him "Clark." Green Arrow, for instance. And, I think, Batman.

Why does Wonder Woman call him "Kal"? And what does Aquaman call him?

From DCU Surgery:

The jist was that Superman/Clark Kent has a dual identity, while Post-Crisis Diana does not. To many in the DCU, he is just Superman. To a precious intimate few, he is the man Clark Kent, a man who only wears the role of Superman. But Diana sees both, and acknowledges an even deeper identity, Kal - the outsider. Kal is the alien name of the man who wears the role of Clark Kent, who wears the role of Superman.

I've no idea what Aquaman/Arthur/Orin calls Superman/Clark/Kal.

Will no one name their daughter Ororo? Shame.

lonely as a cloud...

What, so they can be teased about Halle Berry's non-performance in the school-yard? I think not!

Did you hear Tom Cruise and whatshername are going to be parents too?

On another board someone joked:
"They should name the kid Lex. Then they can make the baby fight Nicholas Cage's baby."
