(CNN) - Amy Schumer has just saved her son years of pranks.
The actress and comedian revealed in the latest episode of her podcast "3 Girls, 1 Keith" that she and her husband officially changed their son's name after realizing it sounded like "genital".
"Now he is Gene David Fischer," he said of his 11-month-old son. "It was Gene Attell Fischer but we realized that, by accident, we called our son 'genital'."
Wow.
Schumer married chef Chris Fischer in February 2018, and the couple gave birth to their son in May 2019.
The baby's middle name was a tribute to the couple's friend, comedian Dave Attell.
Schumer's "Trainwreck" co-star Claudia O'Doherty was the guest on the podcast and said she realized the mess with the name.
"My mother pointed it out to me, actually," O'Doherty said. "My mom said, 'Amy has called her genital son.'"
Schumer told O'Doherty and podcast co-hosts Rachel Feinstein, Bridget Everett and Keith Robinson that calling him David as a middle name had its advantages because it is Attell's first name and his father's middle name.
