For anyone unaware of that particular blunder, Amy announced back in August last year that she and Chris were changing their son’s name from Gene Attell to Gene David after “some troll on the internet” pointed out that his original moniker sounded like “genital.”
“[We realized] like a month in,” Amy told Howard Stern. “You know, you’re like, the new parents, and you’re just tired and in ecstasy. I don’t know if some troll on the internet… I read it, and I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ Me, a filthy person, it never dawned on me. All the blood rushed to my head.”
“At first it’s like, we’d be at the playground and he’d have a meltdown,” she added. “I just wish ghost of Christmas future mom me had told ghost of Christmas past me that, ‘You know how he’s freaking out in the playgound? Well, he’s gonna do this so often that you’ll become desensitized and you won’t be able to feel it anymore — that’s something you can look forward to.'”
