Amy Schumer Makes a Name Flip for Her Baby
When the world‑knowing comedian‑actress Amy Schumer discovered her little one’s middle name could be twisted into something a bit too… genital‑ish, she didn’t miss a beat.
From “Genital” to “Gene David” – The Name Swap
- Original name: Gene Attell Fischer
- New name, after a quick “name‑review”: Gene David Fischer
- Reason? A simple mishearing that turned a Dad joke into a potential gag on real‑life baby names.
Amy explained the change on the “Amy Schumer Presents: 3 Girls, 1 Keith” podcast, laughing at the mix‑up and letting the public know—a boy named “Genital” is a prank that’s not for any father‑to‑be.
The Podcast Revelation
Guest Claudia O’Doherty shared that her own mother spot‑checked the naming disaster almost right after its inception. Claudia remembered:
“She told me, ‘Amy’s called her son Genital,’ and I was like, ‘What’s that about?’ Then she was right.”
IVF Journey – Pitt (?), but with a Twist of Hope
Alongside the name scramble, Amy’s 35‑egg retrieval (and 26 fertilised) story was packed into a heartfelt Instagram narrative. Key highlights include:
- 35 eggs harvested—talk about a “golden girl” in the baby stash.
- From those, 26 fertilised, leaving Amy optimistic.
- Result: One healthy embryo, plus two low‑level mosaic ones that could still bright‑bright.
- She celebrated every successful hatching as a victory, and commented on the emotional rollercoaster that many IVF parents ride.
She wrapped up the post with a “thank you” to the community of women who share their IVF and miscarriage stories, saying the collective support makes the journey feel a little lighter and a lot more empowering.
Bottom Line
So, while Amy’s son always had “Gene” in his name, he now gets the middle name “David” before a low‑effort comedic slip. And the rest of us get to enjoy a good chuckle while she shares her battle‑front narratives with the world—making hope a bit less intimidating.
