After her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno where she revealed her pregnancy, a pregnant Minnie Driver went to tape Ellen DeGeneres Show on March 14. Of course, the pregnancy must be the big topic of the Riches star and talkshow comic. Minnie Driver did not hide her joy over the baby at her womb, but it seemed her own name had caused a dilemma to name her baby if the unborn was a boy.
"I have a pretty silly name," the Riches star says on an episode of the Ellen DeGeneres Show scheduled to air Monday. "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."
So Minnie Driver preferred a girl:
Joked DeGeneres: "So you’re hoping for a girl, you're saying."
"I'm hoping for a girl," Driver answered. "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. "
Minnie Driver told Ellen Degeneres why she announced her pregnancy not until recently, but still kept tight lips on who had fathered of Minnie Driver baby or who Minnie Driver's boyfriend is .
Already "four [months] and a bit" along in her pregnancy, Driver, 38, tells DeGeneres why she waited to reveal it – even as speculation grew. "I didn't do an announcement because I'm not really an announcement girl," she said. "I'm wearing red knickers. I'm also having a child, not really my thing. So I didn't say anything."
Another thing Driver did not mention: The father of her baby.
