Joanne Jacobs links to an LA Times article about what celebrities call their children. Stories about wacky baby names always remind me of this “Saturday Night Live” skit where Nicholas Cage (who recently named his kid "Kal-El") keeps talking his wife out of names for fear their kid will be teased at school:
Wife: Okay.. fine.. what about Ben?Nobody ever teased me for my mighty moniker since you can’t spell “America” without “Eric”. Plus it’s Teutonic for “all-powerful king” or something.
Husband: Ben! Oh, fine, we're giving birth to a big bear? Great! "Gentle Ben!" "Hey, Ben, where's Jerry? Get me some ice cream, or I'll beat the crap outta ya!"
Wife: We could call him "Benjamin."
Husband: Sure. Benjamin. Harrison! "Hey, Benjamin, how's that tariff coming? Montana a state yet?"
