Gwyneth Paltrow to name impending son 'Mortimer'.

[buttmunch]

March 24, 2006 -- GWYNETH Paltrow is having a boy - and no, she's not going to name him Orange. The Oscar winner, mother with hubby Chris Martin of adorable daughter Apple, wants to name her second child Mortimer, after her godfather Steven Spielberg, according to rossmathews.net. Paltrow apparently affectionately refers to Spielberg as "Uncle Morty" - which we guess is better than "Uncle Miltie," the famed funnyman Milton Berle. nypost.com

Mortimer sounds like a talking wooden dummy.

I once said she would call him Mango

Well at least she didnt name her "GoddessLove", like singer, Lil Mo.

Mortimer...that is worse than Apple.

[Karizma]

ok this must be bullshit since two days ago there was another rumor that she is having a girl and will call her 'Tunkerbell'

[ralphycnan]

Poor baby.

[muchlove]

Awwww. My pet rat that died recently was named Mortimer. Thanks for bringing me down, Gwyneth!

[MrsDark]

Ugh. You've got to be kidding me. So anyone remember when little Morty expected to make his appearance? And I haven't seen as many pics of her lately.

Wasn't Mortimer Mickey Mouse's original name?

[serenity]

Mortirmer?..... Usually people pick those goofy names for their pets.

HAHAHAHAHAHA..."Mortimer! MORTIMER! MOOOOORRRRRRTTTTYYYYYYYY! Crap, where is that damn dog."

[Sojiita]

'impending' has such a ring of doom about it..and if they name the kid 'Mortimer" it is appropriate!

[ediebrooks]

Why would anyone do this to a kid? "Apple" is quirkily cute;naming a kid "Mortimer" is like consigning him to a living hell.

Mortimer is quirkily cute too. Especially if you're trying to raise the child as the next Marilyn Manson.

I'm guessing that this is just some joke that her camp released. She'll probably go with a more traditional name like Caligula, Spartacus, or Oreo.

Gross, I don't find that name quirkily cute at ALL, and it makes me think of a balding buck-toothed idiot wearing big black glasses & plaid pants.

He can be the bestest bud of Julia's kids, Phinneas and Hazel. They can start the club for Celebrities' Kids with Old Fart Names.
