You know...I knew Nicholas Cage had a thing for Elvis and Superman but that's just going too over board. What is up with people giving their kids these HORRIBLE names?? He couldn't name him CLARK?? That at least sounds like a real name. It would be like naming you're kid after a Romulan or something from Star Trek.

That is so annoying to me! I feel bad for the kid.

Mike e-mailed me about this today and, even though this is N. Cage we're talking about, I was still surprised. I mean, this child has a mother, right? And she allowed this?

I like Apple, though. ****, I even like Phineus (though I wouldn't do that to a child, no siree - I like seeing it in fiction.)

I actually like traditional, simple names for the most part. My favorite names for boys are Henry, Eli, Saul (or Sol), and formerly traditional names like Wilder (Wiley for short). I like Wolfe as a first name, too, which is a bit stranger.

For girls, Kate (not short for anything), Greta, Stella, and Beatrice. I'm also partial to Elsbeth, but I wouldn't want that to turn into Beth. I love names like Mathilda and Madeline, but I prefer how the French say those, and I think I'd get tired of saying it over and over.

They are all names I really love to say. I like Apple, as I said, but I wouldn't want to say it all the time. I'd wind up saying, "Hey, girlie," all the time.

Okay Kal-el is bad but what about Jason Lee's kid Pilot Inspecktor or Penn Jillette's daughter Moxie Crimefighter????

I don't have a list of kids names I like, although when I thought I was going to have a girl she was going to be Zoe Suki. And now I have Holden Akira. If I do have a girl eventually I will not name her Zoe because then people will think I am some sort of Salinger freak.

You know, I LOVE Moxie Crimefighter. As dumb celebrity names go, that's a winner. But I LOVE it. Because I would totally get a kick out of saying my own name all the time. "Moxie. Moxie Crimefighter." It's just so spy!

I kinda have a soft spot in my heart for Moon Unit Zappa.

When I named my kid Thomas, so many people were surprised, apparently thinking I'd go for Barnabas or Raven or something. I just figured the fun names are for pets (I have my favorite: Mortimer, who's just waiting for a dog or cat to be attached to) and that kids have a rough enough time out there without having to defend their very names every day. If I'd had a daughter she'd have been Emma.

Bee likes to joke that if we ever had a kid, regardless of gender, the name would have to be Jesus Elvis. Thank goodness we won't be having a kid!!!

Yeah, you WERE the woman that got married in black velvet in a cemetery chapel and had a cat named Taboo.

Hey, no outing me!

I like Celtic-sounding names or spellings.

I wouldn't mind naming a girl Rhiannon, but I'd be more likely to use Sarah or Christine

I like the names Rhys (pronounced Reese), but will be more likely to use Erik or Michael.

Too bad, in a way. One of each could be Rhys and Rhiannon.

Hey, I chose Rhiannon for a girl way back when but I was convinced I was having a boy (a hunch, not ultrasound) so I didn't really expect to use it. And I was right so I got my Dylan instead. No, not after Bob. I read a lot of Welsh mythology back then. And it was before the name got all trendy and common, so there!

A girl's name I really love is Bronwen. I'm blanking on boy's names at the moment.

Someone should tell Nic Cage that naming his kid Kal-El won't give him super powers. Just think, it will probably be shortened to just Kal by his friends and people will think he was named after Cal Worthington.

I like Alice. Easy to spell, classic, pretty, not one of eleventy-twelve Brittknee Tayler Ayashtons in her class. Also, named after someone I love and admire (her godmother) and a family used name. Everyone's a winner.

If I have another one, prolly something Korean.
