Sorry about not ringing back, the whole two names concept was too much for my flatmate's pea-sized intellect.
— Notting Hill • 1999

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker apologises for not calling back, then delivers the excuse with a sarcastic sting: the idea of two names was apparently beyond a flatmate's tiny intellect. The politeness of the apology is undercut by the insult, blaming the missed contact on someone else's supposed stupidity.
