Minnie DriverMinnie Driver has said she’s hoping for a baby girl because it’ll be too hard to name a boy.

Minnie confirmed her pregnancy last week and in an episode of the Ellen DeGeneres Show set to air this afternoon, she revealed she is “four and a bit” months pregnant but is already throwing names around: “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’m hoping for a girl. I think it’s a girl. Most of the women in my family get super girthy early on [when they’re expecting girls] and I’ve got to say that’s why I have this nice chiffon dress on. I’m fat.”

She added though that she chose not to confirm the rumours that she was expecting until the bump got undeniably big: “I didn’t do an announcement because I’m not really an announcement girl. I’m wearing red knickers. I’m also having a child, not really my thing. So I didn’t say anything.”
