Grey’s Anatomy” star Caterina Scorsone posted on Instagram a few days ago that she has changed her four-month-old daughter’s name from Arwen to Lucinda.
Today Amy Schumer is following suit. Speaking on her podcast “3 Girls, 1 Keith,” Schumer explains to her co-hosts that she chose her son’s middle name “Attell” after her close friend, fellow comic Dave Attell…but she didn’t realize until recently that the name combo,Gene Attell Fischer, could sound like genital Fischer.
Australian actress Claudia O’Doherty, a guest on the podcast, admitted that her mom even pointed it out, telling her, “Amy’s called her son ‘Genital.’” To avoid any confusion – or potential playground name-calling – Schumer and her husband Chris Fischer have renamed their son Gene David Fischer.
