Nick Cage has named his son Kal-El

Yep, you heard it right. Actor Nicolas Cage has named his son after Superman's Krypton name.

Honestly it doesn't shock me, after all Nicholas Cage isn't even his real name. His birth name is Nicholas Coppola, he changed to Cage As in Luke Cage.


I'm assuming when the boy is in school they will just call him Kal. Oh well, it beats being called Apple.

after superman? or after that freak show net cultist calling himself kor-el or something

Rael and his Raeliens?

No, Nick Cage is just one of the biggest comic guys in Hollyweird.

WOW how detached from society do you have to be to name your son Kal-el?
I could understand Kal or Cal but Kal-el??!?! does that mean i can name my son FLipper? LOL!

The kid will be fine until he gets to high school and then they will most likely start on him with super jibes etc

He'll most likely shorten it to Kal.

It's not so bad, as long as he keeps his feet on the ground and doesn't let it go to his head.

Up, up and awaaaaay!

John Stewart was joking about this last night. He was asking what if Kal-El grew up to play baseball and he sucked at it.

I wish I could find a transcript online.

He's such a big Elvis fan that I'm surprised he didn't name the
kid Elvis. But then Lisa Marie, his exwife, might sue over
copyright infringment or something. ha ha

The kids will just call him Cal in school - like short for Calvin or
whatever. And it's Hollywood, so they are used to whacked out
names - like moon unit zappa .. and so on.
