Paltrow chooses baby name

Mar 27, 2006, 14:39 GMT

Gwyneth Paltrow is to name her new baby Mortimer.

The pregnant actress, who is expecting her second child with Coldplay star husband Chris Martin, reportedly wants to give the unborn tot the unusual name in honour of her godfather, director Steven Spielberg.

Gwyneth - whose film producer father, Bruce, died of throat cancer in 2002 - refers to the legendary moviemaker as 'Uncle Morty' and is keen to show him how much he means to her.

It was revealed last year the 'Sliding Doors' star was expecting a boy, and Gwyneth has made no secret of her desire to have a big family with Chris.

She said: 'I would like to have a whole bunch of children.

'I don't mind girls or boys. My mother gets upset because I say I want all girls because Apple is so fabulous.'

The screen beauty also recently told fans she is putting her acting career on hold for the foreseeable future because she is determined to be the best mum she can.

She revealed: 'With another baby on its way, I don't think I will be doing a lot for the next year or so either.

'Having Apple has changed everything for me It's changed the way I see the world - I feel like it's even changed my DNA.'
