"Gig" is Morton's given name and, when asked about where the name originated during an interview with Celebuzz, Morton explained - "It’s actually my real name that’s on my birth certificate. It’s a funny story: when my dad was little — my dad’s name is Gary — his little brother couldn’t say Gary, so he called him ‘Gig’ and that became his nickname. And everyone calls him Gig besides my Nana, my dad’s mom."
