Bad Hollywood Kid Names

Leave it to famous people to decide on the most horrible names for their babies. It seems that the entertainment industry believes that nothing matters as long as you are the son or daughter of an elite celeb. At least that is what it seems like when Hollywood parents are naming their kids everything from Apple to Phinneaus. Sure, when you are not a famous entertainment stars son or daughter, chances are you would get your butt whipped if your name was Mortimer, but for the Gwyneth Paltrows baby, we`re sure he`ll be doing a bit of butt kicking of his own.

After naming her daughter Apple, Gwyneth Paltrow and hubby Chris Martin are said to be planning to give their new son an even worse name. Let`s see, we have the father`s name: Chris Martin. (Cool.) Grandfather`s name: Bruce Paltrow. (Also coolish.) Gwyneth`s choice: Mortimer. (So not cool.)
According to PageSix, Gwyneth is saying that pregnancy is making her crazy she wants to name her second child after her godfather Steven Spielberg, who she affectionately refers to as "Uncle Morty".

She won`t be naming the kid "Steven", as that would look like she`s sucking up to the most successful movie director of all times. Oh, no. The kid will be called Mortimer. What`s that sound you hear? Why it`s the pitter-patter of little fists as British boys pummel poor little Mortimer`s ass - daily - in juuuuust about ten years time. Good luck, Mort!
