I can`t imagine hating my kid so much that i`d call him Superman, destining him to a childhood of being constantly beaten up.
I mean, if you love Superman so much wouldn`t a much more appropriate tribute be Clark? Or better yet, F***head. He`d get less hassle in the playground.

... or do as Nicolas Cage did and name it Kal-El :D
The thing is, there are only two levels of society that do this.
Super famous/rich people who can get away with it as A) All their friends have the stupid names and B) Everyone wants to be their friend anyway and celebrity obsessed peasants, the kind of numbskulls who buy Jodie Marshes autobiography and congratulate themselves for reading a book.

Was`nt it Frank Zappa who called his son Moon Buggy or Moon Base or something? :o

PG Wodehouse (and he should know, he was christened Pelham Grenville) once observed there were some rum deals pulled at the font, and he was commenting on a character called Lemuel Gengulphus Trotter.
There should be a law against parental stupidity. Ideally backed up by sterilisation. ;)

My suspicions were aroused when I saw he was wearing Battle of the Bulge ribbons.
There are no ribbons for the Battle of the Bulge!
Precisely.

Actually, he called his daughter Moon Unit. His son is Dweezil (sp?)
