Nicolas Cage has defended the unusual name he gave his son and predicts future parents will follow his lead. The star has always been fascinated by Superman and decided to name his son Kal-El - who celebrates his first birthday tomorrow - after Clark Kent's Kryptonian name.

But he's furious at the backlash he's received for choosing such a unique name.

He says, "I thought Kal-El was an unusual name that not a lot of people knew about, and stood for something good. I'll bet you within five or 10 years, there will be a lot more Kal-Els. It just happens that my son is the only one right now."
