It's a bird, it's a plane....

Normally I avoid celebrity gossip, but this one I have to pass on. Nicholas Cage and his wife have named their new son "Kal-el".

Yes, the Superman reference is intentional.

Hmmm...giving your kid an odd or flat out bizarre name does not make for an easy childhood. I was saddled with something out of the ordinary and prone to mispronunciation and found it quite a trial. (If you are curious about my name, I'll email it to you);-)

On the flip side, I'm glad I wasn't named Julie, Lisa, Jennifer (sorry Ms. Dunne) or Michelle because there were multiples of those names in almost every class I had.

Perhaps there's something wrong with me, but I think it's kind of cool. But then there's a cruel part of me that wants to land any future-child-of-mine with a wacky name too...

i'm not sure if that is cruel or down right awesome. i think i'll wait until Kal-el is old enough and ask him.
