Amy Schumer Changed Her Son's Name Since It Sounded Like "Genital"
Amy Schumer changed her son, Gene Attell's name, because she said that it sounded like "genital." She gave the middle name to honor her close friend and fellow comic Dave Attell.
The comedian shared on podcast "3 Girls, 1 Keith," that she has officially changed her son's second name from Attell to David. The 38-year-old star said that her mom pointed it out to her, and she realized that she is right.
Schumer and her husband discussed the matter with Attell, and they decided to change their son's name to David instead. Attell, 55, played as the homeless best friend Noah to Schumer in the movie Trainwreck.
She added that David is also the middle name of her father Gordon Schumer, so it is like hitting two birds with one stone. The first name of her son "Gene" was to honor the late actor Gene Wilder.

How Her Son Changed Her
Schumer told Entertainment Tonight in an interview in November that her son Gene has changed her "in a million ways," especially her relationship with her mom.
She said that she became more courteous to her mom now that she is one. She also added that both she and her husband were shocked to know that they could love someone so much.
Amy Schumer and her husband Chris Fischer realized that they named their son with a funny name.
Amy Schumer Undergoing IVF
Earlier this year, Schumer posted a photo of her bruised stomach on her Instagram and said that she was feeling "run down." She added that she was undergoing in vitro fertilization to give her an 11-month-old son, either a brother or a sister. They are freezing her eggs, and she is asking for advice on what's best to do.
Many celebrities showed their support. Selena Gomez said that she is praying for them, while Katie Couric gave her a push saying "You got this mama" and sent her lots of love.
Even though Schumer had many struggles during her pregnancy with Gene, it is evident that she is loving being a mother.
