WASHINGTON - After 19 years of getting into fights over his name and hearing it mispronounced, Shia LaBeouf can’t believe celebrities are still coming up with weird names for their kids.

LaBeouf says not only was he teased because of the sound of his name, he says his full name means “thank God for beef” and “who wants to be named that?”

Asked what he would say to parents planning to give their kids strange names, LaBeouf says “name your kid Billy and Timmy! What is the problem with that?”

Obviously, Nicolas Cage doesn’t agree with LaBeouf. Cage just named his son Kal-el after the name Superman was given when he was born on Krypton.
