Superman: Secret Identity

To all parents out there, never name your kid with exactly the same name as your favourite super hero, tv character, holiday, or worse, restaurant food. He/she will be traumatised from grade school all through his golden days.

Consider Clark Kent from this comic book Superman: Secret Identity. He isn't really Clark Kent of Superman fame. It's just that their family name is Kent and so his parents found it a novelty to name him Clark because he also has black hair. He was no stranger to taunts from his peers. Imagine what a normal boy would feel like.



But in this story, things take a radical turn of events. Because he suddenly finds himself with powers similar with that of Superman! It's a very interesting take on the "what-if" scenario, and what Clark does with his powers. I read this from cover to cover in one sitting. Good stuff.

But not all of us are as lucky as he is. So don't go naming your kids things they will take unnecessary pain for.

Yeah, you are really correct. It's not good for a person to have a bad sounding name. I believe there will be some kind of hesitance in a person's social behavior caused by having a bad sounding name. So to all Pinoy's please dont name your children based on comic cartoon characters or antique names. pinoy tv
