Amy Schumer shares reason why she had to change her son's name
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Amy Schumer admitted she goofed in naming her newborn son, so she changed it.
The comedian and actress made the revelation on Tuesday while issuing a monologue to her socially separated audience on her “Amy Schumer Presents: 3 Girls, 1 Keith" that she altered her son’s middle name after naming the little guy after a close pal of hers and husband Chris Fischer's.
Schumer, 38, and Fischer welcomed their son on May 5, 2019, and introduced their baby boy Gene Attell, named after actor and funnyman Dave Attell, for which Attell said it was “an honor” to have the newborn bear his name.

However, realizing she likely subjected her son to a life of ridicule for his name, the “Trainwreck” star said had to give “Attell” the boot, but at no fault of the Comedy Central star.
“Do you guys know that Gene, our baby’s name is officially changed?” Schumer asked her listeners on her podcast. “It’s now Gene David Fischer. It was Gene Attell Fischer, but we realized that we, by accident, named our son ‘Genital.’”

For the naming blunder, Schumer maintained Attell was OK with the change considering Gene’s new middle name was that of her own father’s and David is obviously Attell’s first name.
“So, two stones,” Schumer noted.
