Apparently, for Nick Cage, it's indulging comic book fantasy.
Unreal. I find myself around quite a few pregnant wives right now among friends, so baby names are debated frequently. My immediate criteria for any boy's name is: "When I was in grade school, if I were to hear that there was a kid named [insert potential name], would I want to beat him up?"
Nick, your kid would come home crying.

Most kids come home crying at some point. But how many other kids can come home crying tears that can freeze harder than diamond, blowing snot that's more adhesive than super-glue, and exuding angst that has the power to change the course of Earth's civilization?
Marcus Aurelius,
I think you're onto something. Kal-El Cage will probably get punched in the stomach, then asked, "What's wrong, Man of Steel?".
the_dude,
Uncanny. I was just about to do a post called "Don't Waste Your Life". Instead, since you are encouraging the act, let's talk about how much Superman sucks. He is easily the worst popular comic book hero ever made. His creators just kept adding powers to his bag of tricks while holding onto a boy scout personality, resulting in a boring freak. Then you got Lois Lane always running her mouth. No thanks.
Your criteria for name-judging is sound, and I find myself thinking along similar lines. As mark says, kids are gonna come home crying. But the fewer opportunities they have to do so, the better.
If you're going to tag a kid with a really irritating handle, better make him start working out at age three...
