Whatever happened to Michael and Jennifer?

Los Angeles - Oscar winner Nicolas Cage and his wife, Alice Kim Cage, gave birth Monday to a boy, Kal-el Coppola Cage, in New York City, said Cage's Los Angeles-based publicist, Annett Wolf. No other details were available.

Well, I can give you some other details. Nic Cage is the latest in a long line of celebrities who have cursed their children with idiotic names. Kal-el is Superman's name when he was a baby on Krypton. A kid better know karate with a name like that, or he'll never get through recess. "Where's your super strength?" Just because Hollywood is making a movie based on every comic book ever written (drawn?) doesn't mean we need to lift names from them, too. A.K. (After Kal-el), how long before the world welcomes Wolverine Kutcher?

By bestowing this moniker on his son, Jor-el, I mean, Nic has done the impossible: Apple's parents, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, now seem almost normal. Though no amount of kryptonite could possibly knock Kal-el Cage from the top of the most-ridiculous-name-ever list, I am curious about the rest of the top 5. Clearly, Scout Willis is up there. Maybe Deionne Sanders, Prime Time's daughter.

What say you?

Jaime,..
That is good stuff. You should write something on all of the androgynous names floating around. Parents that can’t make up their mind whether they’ve had a boy or a girl, and decide to split the difference with the name. Pat, Stacy, Robin, Kelly, Jaime,.. uhm,.. oops,.. never mind.

Mi amigo, I realize that my golden brown tan often misleads people into thinking I am of Latin descent, but my name is not spelled J-a-i-m-e.

Oh fer fucks sake,... please tell me the "masculine" way to spell Jaimi. Then you can show me the "cool" way to eat boogers.
