People have been coming up with brain dead names for quite a while: CLICK HERE

Why didn't he change his own name to Kal-El and call his kid Nicholas?

Speaking of names that make me giggle, this one is my favorite:

Mainly because I found it on my own while doing genealogy research. (Yeah, I'm 23 and doing genealogy research for fun.)

It was awesome enough that two people with these last names came together in marriage - but then they went that extra step with their firstborn son!

I knew a girl in school named Sunkist--never met her parents, but I'm guesing they were such total hippie acid burnouts that she was lucky to born without any extra limbs or heads.

I won't speculate on Nicolas Cage's drug history, but I always thought Wild at Heart did a pretty good job of capturing the freaky inner Cage. "This snakskin jacket symbolizes my individuality and belief in personal freedom!" Words to live by.

I gained a little respect back for him. 1) Really, is the kid's namesake such a bad one, especially compared to "Pilot Inspektor" or any number of other Scientologist-spawned travesties? At least it means something, and an actual (fictional) role-model. 2) Considering the fact that Nic Cage is such an Elvis memorbilia collector that some have hypothesized this as a reason for one of his marriages, the kid could have been named Elvis.

OK, fine, I hate him, because he took one of my ideas. Bastard. Fine, my next spawn will be named "Bruce Parker Arthur-Curry Fury Leftist". Even if she's a girl.

It reminds me of an old comic where Superman saves a pregnant woman on the subway as she goes into labor and rushes her to the hospital. He sort of talks the lady out of naming her son after him, thinking to himself as he flies away, "For that kid's sake, I hope the other boys at school never find out what the S stands for in Hon S. Ng".

On a related note, I think that Ace might find this article useful in planning his next endeavor:

mary, can you just tell us the names so we don't have to register? Please? :)

Kind of a tradition. You'll remember Nick named himself after "Luke Cage," a comic book character as well. Sorta cool if the kid went on to name his son Green Lantern Cage or Wolverine Cage. Say, I kinda like that last one...

I worked a customer service job in college, I got to talk with a woman named Pleasure Savage, it said so right on her file.

Ms. Savage was 86 years old at the time.

Chim Chim.
Gleep was dorky.
Chim Chim Cage.

sorry if i'm stating the obvious, but that was superman's krypton name, no?

I'm glad he's subjecting his KID to a wierdo comic book name. For God's sake, we all know his kid has caused enough trouble already! The little bitch deserves a screwed up name! Oh wait, I don't know what I'm talking about...BEEP!

O.T. but not really: One more asshat to add to the list -- Donald "Pit-licker" Sutherland.

I thought your first born was to be named "Rusty Shackleford."

One time doing tech support, I got a call from a Mr. Laurence Fagg. I did not laugh. I did not crack a smile. I did not tell jokes (he's probably heard 'em all, anyway). Afterwards, I wondered why he just didn't change his name. Then I thought, why should he? He's probably proud to be a Fagg. Hell, he probably comes from a long line of Faggs. There's nothing wrong with being a Fagg!

Kal-El sounds like dog food.

I had a client named, "Heiny". The first time I had to call him I pronounced it "hey-nee" and he stiffly corrected me and informed me it was indeed, "High-nee". Uh, okay, um, Mr. Heiny, uh..can I call you Robert?

He was mean, curt, and pretty much an asshole. It seems folks grow into their names.

So like, um, don't name your daughter Fanny.

Worst names I've ever met, but with the nicest, most wonderfullest people attached to them:

Richard Fallis
Patty Hoar

Seriously, these are some delightful people and I am ashamed to be introducing their names here. But truth is truth, here they are.

BrewFan,

Aw jeez, I'm sorry. I'm on there so much I forgot about the registration.

Back in 1782, Philip Horney married Sarah Manlove.

And in case people missed that, they apparently thought it would be a good idea to name their first son Manlove Horney.
(they had a handful of other kids, but no, none were named Miso.)

wOOt! We know Ace's identity at last! Thanks mary!

Although I guess this means Ace is a little 'long in the tooth' [if nowhere else].

I knew a family whose name was "Hollopeter".
I just did a Google search and found a lot of hits.

....used to have to collect from a customer where their AP person was Remy Martin....

Back in the 1980s when I worked as a Student Assistant at Long Beach City College ($3.60 an hour--woo hoo!!) , one of the division secretaries was Catalina Cruz. We also had an professor named Allen Bundy.

...and I recall reading (in the LA Times, I believe) around the same time that a long-time secretary for the City of Beverly Hills was retiring. Her name: Beverly Hill.

Finally, at the office I work in *in the present day*, we have two Filipino males also on the payroll. Their names: Bert and Ernie.

STEVE

I think it's a perfectly good name.

wOOt! We know Ace's identity at last! Thanks mary!

That's funny because when I saw the name, I immediately thought of Ace, too!

And I'm not even part of the regular in crowd here.

By virtue of the fact you found funny, useless, information and were able to link it to Ace makes you one of the 'in crowd'. See you at the next flame war :)

Coming up with a good name can be tough.

Then he should call himself JOR-EL SUPERMANS kryptonian father gee maybe him and his wife should call themselves JOHNATHAN AND MARTHA KENT and move SMALLVILLE KANSAS

I have a 3year old named Kalel,copycat.

haha that shut everyone up

Many years ago when I was working in education, I had a student in my class named Harney. Yes, Harney! Pronounced as in horny.

He was actually Harney lV.

Really cool to call out to him on the playground.

Imagine introducing yourself in a public setting?

It seems better to wear a silly name with pride. I once knew a guy whose last name was Flaming. He insisted that it was pronounced "Fleming" and denoted that his family was Flemish, but no. F-L-A-M-I-N-G. That's Flaming, kids. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
