A Superhero Name?

[tlwbaby.livejournal.com]

My husband and I are trying for a baby and we randomly talk about baby names. I thought I would get your opinion about a boys name that he has been facinated with for years. The name Kal-el. Ok, it is supermans real first name. I don't think I would EVER agree to a first name, however, I would consider middle name. He doesn't give me any other ideas for boys names except this one!  I love the name Benjamin for  first name. What are your thoughts?

FYI-This is Nicolas Cage's son's name as well.

Kalel is a popular Israeli name for boys and it literally means "vessel of God", which the creators of superman did on purpose.
But, I think that most people would consider it to be silly.

Yeah exactly

Kalel

I haven't heard that name before, although it makes sense being close to the Arabic Kalil.

Is it kuf lamed lamed, kuf alef lamed lamed?

Oh hey fellow Hebrew speaker. I've never heard that name either. It sounds to me like it'd be spelled kuf lamed alef lamed.

Hey. :) Well, living in Israel, Hebrew is not so good yet.

I asked around and no one has heard of the name, btw.
