Minnie Driver is stupid.


Minnie Driver can't decide on a name for her unborn baby because her surname is so "silly."

The Hollywood actress - who is nearly five months pregnant with her first child - believes nothing she chooses will sound good coupled with 'Driver'.

She told chat show host Ellen DeGeneres: "I have a pretty silly surname. Driver is kind of a hard name to put with a first name, particularly boys' names."

"My friend sent me an email saying I should call the baby Duncan Driver. Then I can call it Dunk Driver, Pile Driver, Rally Driver. I think I'm just going to call the baby something like John Driver."

Minnie doesn't want to know the sex of the baby, but admits she is hoping for a girl.

She said: "I don't want to know if it's a boy or a girl. I feel like it's one of the last great mysteries of life."

"I'm hoping for a girl though. I think it's a girl. Most of the women in my family get super girthy early on and I've got to say that's why I have this nice chiffon dress on. I'm fat."

The 'Good Will Hunting' star - who previously dated Matt Damon and was engaged to Josh Brolin - has refused to reveal who the father is, simply saying: "I'm the public person and he can stay private."

Minnie has also been previously romantically linked to John Cusack and was once rumored to be engaged to magician Criss Angel.

I'm actually saying pretty much every name I can think of with Driver...and they all sound fine. I mean the only way I think it could be silly is if she named the kid something like Racecar, Drunk, or Truck. I hope the baby is Criss Angel's. It'll be magical!

In other WAY more interesting Minnie Driver news...The Riches' season 2 premieres tonight!

LOL. And for some reason this made me think of RelaxiTaxi.
[info]colorstoobright 18th-Mar-2008 02:03 pm (UTC)
It should be RelaxiCab, like Taxi Cab.

I just couldn't get into The Riches - gave up around episode 5 because it was just sooooo boring. And I never give up on shows!
[info]diana_molloy 18th-Mar-2008 03:07 pm (UTC)
I wanted to love it because of Eddie Izzard but I guess if he's not got make-up on and istalking about squirrels I just don't care.
[info]red_voodoo 18th-Mar-2008 01:55 pm (UTC)
She should call it Screw...
[info]rockitorknockit 18th-Mar-2008 02:20 pm (UTC)
Win.
[info]laurens_bonanza 18th-Mar-2008 01:55 pm (UTC)
Name it Blackndecker and Screw can be its nickname.

She was so cute on Ellen's show yesterday.
[info]xcasxsiex 18th-Mar-2008 01:58 pm (UTC)
obvs his name should be racecar duh
[info]pink__sparklies 18th-Mar-2008 02:01 pm (UTC)
I actually think Racecar would be a rad name.

But then again I think Robert Rodriguez's kids have awesome names. Rocket. Racer. Rebel. Rogue. And then his daughter is Rhiannon..which is lame.
[info]summergirl719 18th-Mar-2008 02:02 pm (UTC)
ha! I know a rhiannon she's a massive bitch!
[info]summergirl719 18th-Mar-2008 02:01 pm (UTC)
How is not wanting to name your kid something thats going to haunt them "Stupid?"

I think it's really cute that she's taking it so seriously.
[info]pink__sparklies 18th-Mar-2008 02:16 pm (UTC)
She is saying that Driver is a silly surname. When actually...every normal name I can think of goes fine with it.

Unless you name the kid something that intentionally goes with Driver, like Drunk Driver, Screw Driver....etc, I think she's safe.
[info]ashminda 18th-Mar-2008 02:02 pm (UTC)
lol who's the daddy?
[info]mrmidwest 18th-Mar-2008 02:05 pm (UTC)

Yes, please
[info]greyfilm YESSS19th-Mar-2008 04:38 am (UTC)
Exactly what I thought of...
[info]seaborne 18th-Mar-2008 02:06 pm (UTC)
I really don't know how I didn't realise earlier that her name is pretty much Mini Driver.
[info]tomlinton 18th-Mar-2008 02:50 pm (UTC)
I didn't realise it either until she was on the graham norton show and he got a camera crew to go out in the middle of the road, stop all the people driving minis, and make them say "hi, I'm a mini driver!" to Minnie Driver :/
[info]seaborne 18th-Mar-2008 03:38 pm (UTC)
That's so unfortunate =\
[info]broken_enemy 18th-Mar-2008 03:28 pm (UTC)
Her first name is actually Amelia I believe. Minnie is a childhood nickname that just stuck.
[info]neaira 18th-Mar-2008 02:09 pm (UTC)
I only liked her as Jane in the Disney Tarzan movie.
[info]whosmurry 18th-Mar-2008 02:12 pm (UTC)
I'm more interested to know the name of the daddy.
