I've recently gotten into a discussion about what Superhero/Comic names are acceptable for children. Or at least, the misbegotten offspring of comic nerds and nerdettes alike.
Among the most mentioned were Karen of Power Girl's alias Karen Star, and Kara, of Supergirl's Kryptonian name Kara Zor-El. Male names....well...
Male names jumped around from Hal Jordan [Surname] to Ultra Magnus [Surname]. Of course, these were mostly made in jest...but it seems that for males, comic related names are better reserved for middle names.
