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 US chat show host Ellen De Generes: “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 rumoured to be engaged to magician Criss Angel.
