I don't think Kal-El is hard to pronounce nor shit, superman. Honestly, I don't think kent is any better.

About names: My lastname was changed on my great grandfather in a unique way. My fullname (and my son's) is globally unique - and rather long. I had considered changing it, but I already have to sign a lot of name affidavits whenever a legal or financial issue comes up.
