Actually, think about the first episode. He meets robin and calls her by her name for the entire flashback... but the kids are still incredibly shocked at the end when he says "And that kids, is how I met... your aunt robin".
The kids were surprised to learn her name, even though Ted uses it in the story, that we watch for ourselves. I just don't think that future Ted uses names much, or that while we see the real version of what happens, the kids are only being told segments.
or they could have thought that their mother wasn't the woman that raised them and were shocked that ted's wife wasn't their mother, so their biological mother was tracey but not the mother that raised them
Why would he tell stories of meeting the kid's mother when they already know who their mother is. SO what is the point of Ted saying that Stella might be "the one" when the kids already know the name of their mother?
Ted's future wife is living together with Cindy and that's a FACT! And she attended Ted's first lecture, so she must be a student of economics. Maybe her name is Tracy, why not? Sounds logical!
Lily and Marshal have twins and then die in a car accident. Ted, with his partner at the time, named Tracy, ADOPT Marshall and Lily's twins, who are the kids, so REALLY the kids' mother is Lily, but she's dead.
@abassline Watch the episode where Marshall and Lily write the notes to each other in case one has an untimely death. They are shown to be alive in the year 2029. Also the episode where Barney fakes his death. And wouldn't Ted want to mention the death of Marshall and Lily to Wendy the Waitress when he sees her in 2021? Also why would he tell his kids that Marshall and Lily are their Aunt and Uncle? Shouldn't they know who their real parents were? It's in the law I think.
But future Ted (a.k.a Bob Saget) is always referring to them as "Your Uncle Marshall" and "Your Aunt Lilly" which means they must still be alive and know Ted's kids.
@blizzaire08 not true ted talks about aunty lily and uncle marshall and there are flash backs of seeing them in like 2028 and stuff like that where marshal and lily are really old, meaning that the kid were already born and they are teds, so that isnt true lol
isnt her mother is carly? that ted found her in barneys wedding. and carly is barney sister which mentioned in ep 19 season 6 by barneys dad. that what i thought hmm
This is wrong. By your logic, the kids would know in the first episode that it wasnt robin that ted married when she first said her name in the bar. the story the kids get told is not identical to the one shown on screen
@andytehgilley Future Ted always referred to Robin as "Aunt Robin." It was made pretty clear from early int he first season that she wasn't the mother. I see no reason why this is illogical, especially considering how intricately this show links different stories over the course of many seasons. I agree that the mother's name will likely be Tracy.
@sbgtf no, i mean in the very first episode robin introduces herself on screen as 'Robin'. If future ted told the kids shehad said this they would know he was talking about their aunt robin. so this shows that the kids do not get told the exact same story as is shown to us.
Yes,her name would be Tracy,watch out for the girl named Tracy that he will meet in bride's room at barney's wedding. ( You know,he was called by Lily to help the bride "Ted the bride needs her best man")
Lol, guessing their real mother's name is Tracy, but he wasn't saying the stripper was their mother... It was probably thrown in as an unclarified joke, it seems like they should have put in a line at the end or something to clarify that he was making up the part about her telling him that her name is Tracy, basically its implied that he was lying about her giving him her real name
I like your way of thinking but it's possible that they actually don't know the mothers' name. Maybe she died before they got to know her or something? It's possible to say the least.
I don't think that's her name. Ted probably didn't tell the kids the stripper's name. Remember in the pilot the kids didn't know he was talking about Robin until he said her name out loud. They thought he was talking about their mom.
in the last episodes in season 7 robin thought she is bregnant but then she discovered that she cant have kids and the kids she was telling the story disappeared
@TheIkkuna1 What i know is , he is one of the highest ranking member in the company , and extorts the company because he knows so many dirty secrets about the company . oh And he was the search committee for GNB. :D
@Saxeras My guess is that he is extorting the company for a salary. He already says in one episode that with what he knows about the company, they'll never be able to get rid of him.
Also, that would explain why he's so dodgy about explaining to everyone what he does. They probably just pay him to be quiet, and keep him there for appearances or something.
In several episodes they've showed glimpses of the mother. There was one episode where they were waiting in line in the rain to get into a club, and one of the women in line had dark brown hair and was carrying a yellow umbrella. Later in the episode, Ted found the umbrella and told the kids it was the mother's. In the episode where Ted is teaching a class, a girl with dark brown hair motions to Ted to let him know it's the wrong class, and Ted says the mother was in that class. Etcetera. :|
I've figured it out.They will keep making episodes until people get bored of it, then it will be taken off the air. Then, the makers might talk about who the mother actually is, IF they've even decided who it is, in an interview.
Allow me to propose a fine theory that will help whittle down the possible motherly candidates: in the episode where Ted finalizes breaking up with Zooey (Season 6 finale) he asks a lady to hand a sorrowful orchid to a "blonde woman" in a cafe. The orchid then passes on to a different blonde lady from Zooey to which future Ted proudly states "and that, Kids, is how I met your mother. Psyke!" The mother will be a blonde lass, which points to Barney's sister as a candidate.
ted has already met your mother. if you pay attention. In season 3 episode 12 called no tomorrow. Barney and ted go to a bar that ted says his mother is at the bar. He shoulder bumps a woman at the club and apologizes. She forgives him and they move on. The timing is at 13:26. Mark these words. That woman you see is "your" mother.
The producers have also said the story will be wrapped up by the end of the eighth season. Ted does not marry Robin.
He didn't tell them Robin's name in the beginning, even though WE knew her name was Robin. They didn't know he was talking about "Aunt Robin" until he told them that's who he was talking about- "And that's how I met your Aunt Robin."... We had already known her name and all that before he'd said that to his kids. So in reality, because of the way they wrote the show, he could tell them stories and never mention the woman's name. All we know is the roommate and the yellow umbrella. Bastards.
What if Ted married Robin's sister....Then Robin would really be the children's aunt. If Robin and Barney got together, then that would also explain how Barney is the uncle. This would allow things to work out pretty well. Ted met the mother of his children at a wedding and that wedding could be the one of Barney's and Robin's, and it would make sense that family would attend.
It's Robin. The writers always have a way of twisting stuff around. Since Robin can't have kids it's probably like the kids are someone else's 'mother' but he's still with Robin.
@RazzleDazzle2340 It's definitely not Robin. Ted (older Ted) has pointed out to his kids more than once how much he loves their Mother. Clearly, Robin isn't the Mother and Ted isn't with her either, I mean, c'mon, they call her Aunt Robin,
@RazzleDazzle2340 Of course is not Robin, the mother is the owner of that yellow umbrella, the roomate of Rachel Bilson's character, it can't be Robin, since the kids call her aunt, it wouldn't make any sense
@Saschikun Yeah I know, there's a lot of hints that he marry's Robin but I don't think it will be Robin. Like Barney did pick the right tie, but Robin may not be the right tie. Robin's not in the room when the flashback occurs so it's being assumed that Robin marries him.
@RazzleDazzle2340 Yeah that's what I think too. Because you know, if the show goes on for like 5 or 6 more seasons Ted and Robin will reach their 40s and are supposed to marry each other if single. Maybe the truth is , even the writers don't know who is the mother.
Your theory might be right, but Future Ted could not tell the name to the kids, apart from the fact that "Tracy" was a stripper and they don't trust in a stripper giving her name (pretty smart). I just hope that they show Barney's wedding at the end of this season.
The wife's name is Carly. It's Barney's half sister. Barney's dad said that he has a daughter in college. Ted teaches at Columbia and said the mother was in the wrong class that he was teaching at. Then Ted also said he mets his wife at barney's wedding which Carly would probably be attending. Her name is Definitely Carly.
Hey kids let me tell you how I met your mother oh and about sleeping with your aunt robin and 100 others oh and drugs (sandwiches). Sandwich brownies :D
I'm pretty sure that the name of their mother isn't Tracy. Remember all the way back in season one when he revealed that he dated their Aunt Robin and they acted surprised? By abassline's logic, their mother's name is also Robin. I think it's much more likely that the kids don't know their mother's name.
@Frostyincave thye acted surprised cause they thought he was telling the story of the mother, not aunt Robin, thats why they were like "what? i thought this is the story of how you met mom"
well watching over the years, Robin, Barney, Marshal and Lily ARE aunt and uncle to the kids... and watching this over and over again the name has to be Tracy...
@bigclayfan4eva We've seen time and again how unreliable Future Ted is when it comes to storytelling. He frequently gets story elements out of order or in the wrong place. Remember the goat? Just because WE saw the stripper say her name was really Tracy doesn't mean her name was actually Tracy or that Future Ted didn't change the name in his retelling just so he could freak out the kids.
thats not right! we didn't know, how the scene goes on. it could be, that the kids expected, that their mom, would be the next dancer on the stage, or something else.
i think their is a great number of solutions, for this "problem"... (sry, for my bad english...)
BUT it doesn't mean that mothers name is Tracy...stripers have a fake names...so kids could think that mother about her name lied (when she said name Tracy)
@515ladybird Also, by this time the kids have to be bored senseless at hearing about the parade of women their father dated before ever meeting their mother and have tuned him out, only barely paying attention. They could have freaked out at hearing their mother was a stripper only to realize later that they had completely overlooked the fact that her name wasn't Tracy.
Cool but listen I've seen the episode when he said he was kidding this is what he ment he was at a strip club and the girls stage name was amber and her off stage name was Tracy so the kids said WHAT! because they thought there mom was a striper then Ted said he was kidding get it
@habibiroot I wasn't saying that he met her at a strip club, I was saying that her name was Tracy. True, he does meet her at the wedding, but the point of the video was that the mothers name must be Tracy because the kids fell for it.
@abassline Really smart that u spotted that, and u may well be right... but to be honest i dont think the writers planned that far ahead. they probably just fucked up :P but u may still be right
Emmm... Why did they believe, in the very first episode that their mother;s name was Robin?? -____________-"

Ted met the mother of his children at a wedding and that wedding could be the one of Barney's and Robin's, and it would make sense that family would attend.

It's Robin. The writers always have a way of twisting stuff around. Since Robin can't have kids it's probably like the kids are someone else's 'mother' but he's still with Robin.
RazzleDazzle2340 1 month ago
@RazzleDazzle2340 It's definitely not Robin. Ted (older Ted) has pointed out to his kids more than once how much he loves their Mother. Clearly, Robin isn't the Mother and Ted isn't with her either, I mean, c'mon, they call her Aunt Robin,
iloveronforever614 1 month ago
@RazzleDazzle2340 Of course is not Robin, the mother is the owner of that yellow umbrella, the roomate of Rachel Bilson's character, it can't be Robin, since the kids call her aunt, it wouldn't make any sense

Saschikun 1 month ago
@Saschikun Yeah I know, there's a lot of hints that he marry's Robin but I don't think it will be Robin. Like Barney did pick the right tie, but Robin may not be the right tie. Robin's not in the room when the flashback occurs so it's being assumed that Robin marries him.

@RazzleDazzle2340 How can it be that Ted marrys Robin, as he always refers to her as "auntie Robin" and Robin can't have any children.
roooneygirl 4 weeks ago
@RazzleDazzle2340 Yeah that's what I think too. Because you know, if the show goes on for like 5 or 6 more seasons Ted and Robin will reach their 40s and are supposed to marry each other if single. Maybe the truth is , even the writers don't know who is the mother.

rumors foretold that she might be Barney's step sis.
the logics:
- Ted met her at Barney's wedding [which might be Robin's too since Lily says: "The bride is calling for you" or something like that]
- Barney's sis is in college, n Ted did mentioned that his kids' mom was in his 1st class.

I think they where more like "WHAT!!" at the fact "Tracy" was a stripper not what u propose!
MrSpiffiest 1 month ago
Your theory might be right, but Future Ted could not tell the name to the kids, apart from the fact that "Tracy" was a stripper and they don't trust in a stripper giving her name (pretty smart). I just hope that they show Barney's wedding at the end of this season.

The wife's name is Carly. It's Barney's half sister. Barney's dad said that he has a daughter in college. Ted teaches at Columbia and said the mother was in the wrong class that he was teaching at. Then Ted also said he mets his wife at barney's wedding which Carly would probably be attending. Her name is Definitely Carly.

I'm pretty sure that the name of their mother isn't Tracy. Remember all the way back in season one when he revealed that he dated their Aunt Robin and they acted surprised? By abassline's logic, their mother's name is also Robin. I think it's much more likely that the kids don't know their mother's name.

@Frostyincave thye acted surprised cause they thought he was telling the story of the mother, not aunt Robin, thats why they were like "what? i thought this is the story of how you met mom"

well watching over the years, Robin, Barney, Marshal and Lily ARE aunt and uncle to the kids... and watching this over and over again the name has to be Tracy...
bigclayfan4eva 1 month ago
@bigclayfan4eva We've seen time and again how unreliable Future Ted is when it comes to storytelling. He frequently gets story elements out of order or in the wrong place. Remember the goat? Just because WE saw the stripper say her name was really Tracy doesn't mean her name was actually Tracy or that Future Ted didn't change the name in his retelling just so he could freak out the kids.

thats not right! we didn't know, how the scene goes on. it could be, that the kids expected, that their mom, would be the next dancer on the stage, or something else.

BUT it doesn't mean that mothers name is Tracy...stripers have a fake names...so kids could think that mother about her name lied (when she said name Tracy)
515ladybird 1 month ago
@515ladybird Also, by this time the kids have to be bored senseless at hearing about the parade of women their father dated before ever meeting their mother and have tuned him out, only barely paying attention. They could have freaked out at hearing their mother was a stripper only to realize later that they had completely overlooked the fact that her name wasn't Tracy.

@habibiroot I wasn't saying that he met her at a strip club, I was saying that her name was Tracy. True, he does meet her at the wedding, but the point of the video was that the mothers name must be Tracy because the kids fell for it.
