I could never get away with this:
Hollywood star Nicolas Cage is celebrating after his third wife Alice Kim gave birth to their first child together yesterday. The Oscar-winning actor, 41, and Kim Cage, 21, welcomed their son Kal-El Coppola Cage in a New York City hospital yesterday morning.
Granted, I'd probably go for something like "Hal Jordan Vonder Haar" or "John Constantine Vonder Haar" if I was drawing from the D.C. pantheon. Provided The Wife suddenly fell into a coma immediately after giving birth.
What are the odds he told Alice it was a family name? She just might be young enough not to know any better.
Excuse me while I go dig up those Laurie Anderson MP3s.
Just remember: this is coming from the guy who starred in the infamous "What Do We Name Our Son?" sketch with Julia Sweeney on SNL, where it was revealed at the end that his own name was Asswipe (pronounced "Azz-WEE-pay").
Also, I wonder if he's still feeling burned about not getting that Superman project (with Kevin Smith(?!?) at the helm) off the ground because of the casting caveat that the Man of Steel not have hair-plugs.
Superman artist Jon Bogdanove named his son Kal-El as well.
Norbizness! That's the FIRST thing I thought of when I saw that news bit!! *ROFLMAO*
There are much, much worse names from DC, including names from GL. Pieface Vonder Haar would not be a stylin' name.
And at least Cage didn't get this idea while working on Con-Air...
I'm partial to Zod Vonder Haar. Obviously, no middle name is required.
(And there's always Mopee....)
I thought he'd go with Elvis. Silly me.
He can't reveal his kid's true name in the first issue! Where's the drama??
Besides, Clark Kent Coppola Cage is so much more alliterative.
