Is Gwyneth Paltrow going to saddle her impending bundle of joy with a moniker so oddball that even sweet-faced little Apple will join in on the playground teasing?
So says the New York Post, which claims Mrs. Chris Martin is expecting a boy whom she plans to dub Mortimer, an appellation that pretty much limits his career prospects to telling take-my-wife-style one-liners in the Catskills (we're here all week -- try the veal!).
The name game started when the swelling Oscar winner took a pop email quiz on "Tonight Show" funnyman Ross Mathews' blog and mentioned the Mortimer moniker. According to the paper, the tag is a tribute to her godfather Steven Spielberg, whom she purportedly calls "Uncle Morty" (no, we don't know why).
But it turns out there's still hope that Gwyneth's pomme in the oven will get a label in the fruit or veggie genre. After the story appeared in the Post, the actress, who's not exactly known for her sense of humor, got back in touch with Mathews to point out that, hey, she was just joking with that whole Morty thing.

I hate Gwyn.
I just think it's hilarious, because people give me crap for the fact that my husband and I are naming our son Nathaniel, because they think that's a 'weird' name. HAHAHA. I laugh for days.
And you are welcome. :) Even better is when I tell people that his middle name is going to be Maddox. Of COURSE that name didn't EXIST until Angelina Jolie named her kid that.
It's my Grandmother's maiden name, and I've always wanted to pass it down, so I am. People don't believe them when I tell them that, though! Where ELSE could I have come up with that, besides Angelina? ;)
people give their kids such stupid names these days, and if they give them normal names they always have to have a "unique" spelling, with lot's of Y's or changing S's for C's and stuff. It's so stupid.
I love the name Nathaniel. Plus it can be shortened to Nate, which is also a beautiful name.
She shouldn't have had children if she was going to give them such god-awful names.
That being said, I'm rooting for the boy to be named Kumquat, Bitter Melon, or Butternut Squash.
I would say that she could be kind of incog if she wanted to be, with a common last name like Martin, but EVERYONE will know who she is, just based on her damn first name.
