Ahhhhh... it turns out Nicolas Cage named his new-born son Kal-El that because he believes the name has a "magical ring" to it. Cage, 41, and his 21-year-old wife Alice stunned fans (and indeed most of the English-speaking world) when they announced the baby's 'Super' name. The Lord of War star says, "Alice and I wanted to have a name that was exotic and American and which stood for something good, because our son is exotic and he's American and we both think he's good. But having said that, I always liked the sound of the name. It has kind of a magical ring to it: Abracadabra Kal-El Shazam!"
