the Name Tracy Theory from How I Met Your Mother

March 7, 2008

If you follow How I Met Your Mother, you may have heard a rumor that the writers have given us at least part of the name of Ted Mosby’s future bride. I even mentioned it in a recent post detailing what we can conclude so far about “the mother”. The video clip below is from Season 1’s Belly Full of Turkey. In this clip, a “burlesque entertainment artist” (otherwise known as a stripper) approaches Ted and says that she thought what he did was sweet… She says “I’m Amber”…then says “Actually, I’m Tracy”… then future Ted’s (Bob Saget) voice pops in and says “And that kids is the true story of how I met your mother.” He then says “Just kidding” however the kids are shocked. The fact they reacted like this lets you know there is some truth to the association of the name “Tracy” to their mother’s name. Otherwise the kids would not react that way because they would know the name makes no sense there. Watch for yourselves. Thoughts are welcome.

Also, on an end note…There is still a lot of mystery to who the mother is. I constantly read posts and comments like this post from Have You Met Ted trying to pry deeper into the mother character. The bulk of the article from HYMT is about recent casting of Alicia Silverstone for HIMYM, I don’t think she is the mother for several reasons, but the post and comments are great examples of what I am talking about. The speculation of ideas like this are fun and it’s always great to hear what other think and read from different clues. The mystery surrounding the mother is a big reason people still love this show…That and the fact it is simply awesome and funny. Enjoy.
