Unfortunate names

[Manic]

"Kalel" would be passably normal-ish, though.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I would rinse the crap out of anyone called "Kal-El" Is that wrong? Maybe. Is it funny? Definitely!!

On a radio show I listen too, a guy sent in that he used to work with a man called "Randy BumGardner", which I think is pretty epic if real.

Bumgardner is a pretty common German surname really, many people have such it, including variations (Baumgardner, Baumgartner, etc).

Why?

 

[Manic]

I remember watching the Doug cartoon on Nickelodeon. The principal (who they never really showed) was named Principal Butsavich. I imagine it should've been pronounced "boot-savich" but everyone kept saying "Butt Savage."

"Kalel" would be passably normal-ish, though.

Personally I would be happy with Kalel, but all the Superman fans would probably get it and make fun of the kid, well, maybe at first. It actually sounds cool when I say it aloud.

 

[Chris Wallace]

As much as I love Spider-Man, I would never name my kid Peter Parker.

Yea, but coupled with Randy, which in England is another term for horny, it kinda becomes a lot funnier.

Parker is a good name, maybe even Peter in some contexts, but your right, never together. A good name for a nerd though.

Well, we all know Stan Lee loved those names that start with the same letter. The only one that he really went against the grain with was Tony Stark.

Johnny Storm
Ben Grimm
Norrin Radd
Are any of the villain names alliterated besides Otto Octavius?

Yeah, but I meant like main characters in the books, and on the teams you had Reed Richards and Scott Summers, who were both viewed as the leaders or main characters, back then anyway.

 

[Mutagen]

DC is also guilty of that. Well in Superman anyways;

• Lana Lang
• Lois Lane
• Lex Luthor

 

[Chris Wallace]

Clark Kent-alliterated in sound if not in letter.

 

[knowsbleed]

Didn't he say that the reason behind that was to help him remember all of their names?

I think that it's cool that Terry was named after Terrence Trent D'Arby.

I do remember reading something to that effect.

 

[Shemtov]

Yeah, but I meant like main characters in the books, and on the teams you had Reed Richards and Scott Summers, who were both viewed as the leaders or main characters, back then anyway.

But Tony Stark, Hank Pym, Nick Fury, and Don Blake all led their own seires.
While some Non-leader did have alleteritive names. Like Every Howling cammando but there freakin' leader.

Did Nicolas Cage call his son 'Kal-el'?.....

 

[Manic]

Did Nicolas Cage call his son 'Kal-el'?.....

Yep. Kal-El Cage.

or maybe Kal-El Copolla. Does anyone know if his son is using his real surname or not?

 

[Mutagen]

His wife, Alice Kim Cage (search), gave birth Monday to a boy, Kal-el Coppola Cage (search), in New York City, said Cage's Los Angeles-based publicist, Annett Wolf. No other details were available.
