The Bullies Who Are Going to Kick His Ass Are Also Being Born Today

Look, I am all for giving a kid an interesting name. I have met enough girls named Tiffany and boys named Jason, but sometimes celebs take it WAY TOO FAR. Nic Cage and his wife Alice just had a baby and named it Kal-el. For any of you that know about movies and/or are comic book geeks, you will be well aware that Kal-el is Superman's Kryptonian birth name. If you are extra nerdy or a big cinephile, you will also know that Tim Burton was going to make a Superman movie many years ago and Nic was going to star in it. Nic is also known to have a huge comic book collection, so the name isn't really so shocking, but just a sad thing to saddle a kid with.

I know lots of people didn't like the name Apple (that Gwyneth gave to her baby), but it didn't bother me so much. When Rachel Griffiths named her son Banjo, I did wonder aloud why someone would give their kid the name of a musical instrument. Jason Lee went down an even crazier road when he named his kid Pilot Inspektor. Kevin Smith found a way to honor what he loved and still not give his kid a name that would make her the target of bullies, when he named his daughter Harley Quinn (she was a Batman villain).
