Cocos and Hazels and Apples, oh my!
So, I read today that Nicholas Cage had a son over the weekend.
His name? Kal-el Coppola Cage.
That’s right, folks. Kid’s named after a Superman character.
I think naming your kid something asinine has become something of a trend in the celebrity world. In the past few years, we have welcomed:
- Coco Arquette
- Hazel and Phinnaeus (Roberts) Moder
- Apple (Paltrow) Martin (though, secretly, I kind of like that one…)
- Audio Science Clayton (son of Shannon Sossamon of A Knight’s Tale)
- Speck Wildhorse Mellencamp (qwa?)
- Elijah Bob Guggi Q Hewson (though I can sadly tell you where every part of that name came from, given that I’m a stupidly-rabid U2 fan…)
… and don’t even get me started on Paula Yates (I try not to speak ill of the dead).

It’s a crazy world. Who in their right mind would name their kid “Roger” or “Adrience”?

Hey, I offer no excuses for my name. I was named after a movie character.

I *secretly* like the name Apple, too!
