Sometimes i wonder if these celebs get it through their thick ego maniac skulls that these babies they birth are going to grow up and be actual people that are going to have the roam the earth as adults one day. Not to mention highschool! What a riduculous name!

Some people name their child after a loved one or friend....Nicholas Cage on the other hand chose to name his son after a comic book character....nice:rolleyes:

I feel so bad for his son.

Yup, the name is pretty darn bad. But, the prize for worse name ever goes to Penn (of Penn and Teller) for naming his baby girl Moxie Crimefighter. Now how would you like to go thru life with that name??

At least he didn't go with Elvis Cage. Doesn't he totally worship Elvis.. Wow if he had children with Lisa Marie I bet that would have been the name :p

All of a sudden, his character in Matchstick Men seems remarkably well-balanced!

What a freak. Well, to the untrained ear, it sounds sort of Hebrew-ish. Maybe people will assume that and let it go.

No I still think Jason Lee takes the cake w/ naming his kid Pilot Inspector. Attleast you can make Moxie sound cute for a girl. I don't know how you would make Pilot sound cool.

:D We can hope. :D

The scary thing is that sounds like something Cliff would like to do. :eek: :(

BTW, I believe it was Pilot Inspektor, with a "k". ;) :D

That's what I thought, too.

Because you know...inspector is a noun, and it would be silly to give someone a noun for a na... never mind. ;)

Oh sorry. I forgot about the best part. Can you imagine teaching his kid to sound out their name to spell it? Or how about when the Pilot realizes that his parents spelled Inspektor wrong?
"Mom Dad. My teacher told me that my parents were idiots!"
"Why's That?"
"She said not only did you give me a stupid name, but you spelled it wrong!"
"Oh, hunny that's not because we are idiots! You're dad thought of it when he was smoking a blunt w/ our friends. We thought it would be unike."

Oy vey. DH heard about little 'Kal-El' and said we should name our son Zod.....so if he ever meets Kal-El Cage in this life, our son could yell 'YOU WILL KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!" :D

I don't know what's up with some of these celebrity baby names. Jonathan Davis (of Korn), named his son Pirate. :rolleyes: Not my cuppa tea....

LOL, can you imagine being named Pilot in kindergarten? That kid is in for a lifetime of torture.

Maybe he will go by Kal, as in Cal, as in Calvin. That's no so bad.

Maybe Nicholas Cage will go by Jor-El from now on.

That sounds like something Jerry Seinfeld would name his kid. He has a serious Superman infatuation thing going.

It could be an alias. Apparently a lot of celebrities are releasing alias names to the press to protect their children in the future. I work for a family that does this...it helps keep the paparazzi away when the kids go to school, camp, the hospital, etc.

My DH actually suggested (a couple of months ago) that we name our baby Kal-el. His second suggestion was Calvin Leonard, which could be shortened to Cal L.

Yes, I am married to a big geek. :)

Oy vey. DH heard about little 'Kal-El' and said we should name our son Zod.....so if he ever meets Kal-El Cage in this life, our son could yell 'YOU WILL KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!"


chefker-- I will have to tell DH that. He would get a big laugh.

LMAO! I'm laughing so hard...my co-workers think I'm crazy...:p

Hmm..I think this beats "apple" and..oh darn..I forget what Courtney Cox, named her daughter..it was Courtney Cox right?

You know what cracks me up most about Nic Cage doing this? A few years ago (maybe more than a few) he was on Saturday Night Live and did a skit where he and his pergnant wife were trying to pick baby names. Everything she comes up with, he's bitter and going on about how kids will make fun of it -- like even names like "John." Then, at the end a package comes for him, and the delivery man calls his name -- Asswipe somethingorother. And he says,"It's PRONOUNCED, Ahz-wee-pay. Geez!"

Anyway...I just find it utterly ironic that after doing that skit, he concocted "Kal-el". :rolleyes:

That makes so much sense! It makes me wonder how many of these bizarre names are really just fakes. Guess we shouldn't judge unless we really know, huh? ;)

Sad thing is, my SIL and BIL named their 3 year old daughter Parker, after Peter Parker (Spiderman), and her newest daughter Justice, after the Justice League. BIL has a wee bit of a comic book obsession. :rolleyes:

I have to say... I have a weird name- my first name and last name are bizarre- not represented in real life. And my life has not become hell because of it. In fact, I am the only person IRL with my name, and I love it. Somebody pronounces it wrong, or is disconcerted by it? What do I care? I own it. That's me.

And honestly, do you think that Pilot Inspektor or Jar-el or whatever his name is, are going to get picked on because of their names? They won't. Their parents are going to be protection enough. It's possible that your every day, average child might be, but those kids won't be.
