Trisha Paytas makes waves with unique name of baby No. 3

Trisha Paytas has revealed the aquatic-themed name of her third child — Aquaman Moses.

Some fans had guessed Triton, Percy Jackson or Splash, and they weren’t that far off. The celebrity YouTuber selected Aquaman Moses for her newborn son, she announced during an episode of her podcast “Just Trish” on July 22.

Paytas welcomed baby number three on July 12. The influencer already has two daughters with her husband Moses Hacmon, Malibu Barbie, 2, and Elvis, 1.

She revealed the name by unzipping a hoodie sweatshirt to reveal a pink, bedazzled Aquaman t-shirt.

“It’s Aquaman, and I said it loud and proud in the C-section room,” Paytas said.

Paytas gained fame for her YouTube career, and made her Broadway debut earlier this year. The celebrity has inspired conspiracy theories online — the “Trisha Paytas Baby Curse” —with people speculating that her kids are reincarnated celebrities.

During her podcast, Paytas explained her connection to the name Aquaman Moses. She said she and Hacmon wanted a water-related name. She added that anyone who has known her for a while knows she has loved the Aquaman franchise and said she was “shocked” more people didn’t guess the name.

She added the name felt fated, as she noticed that a doctor’s office she recently visited had an Aquaman poster hanging on the wall. She also shared that she has always loved the Aquaman comic book character and the “Justice League” movies.

When she rewatched the movie with Hacmon, Paytas said, the decision was sealed.

“I really fell in love when we rewatched Aquaman,” Paytas said.

“Watching the movie we got so many goosebumps,” Hacmon agreed. “It was like watching our baby.”

Leading up to the name announcement, Paytas ruled out fan’s name guesses such as Poseidon, Nemo and Atlantis.

She listed the names she considered but didn’t select, including Watersnake, Waterworld, Aladdin and Papermate. In a July 8 TikTok video, Paytas also said she considered the names Lemon, Squeezie, Squooshie and Rainbow Sherbert.

Paytas also opened up about her birth story, which she described as “surprising and traumatic.”

Paytas shared during the podcast episode that her third pregnancy was a “the shock of the century,” and while she was “thankful,” it was “dangerous” for her.

She said she plans not to have any more children. “I did get my tubes out” during the C-section, she shared.

“I feel so good about the decision,” Paytas said.

She said she chose to share the choice with followers because of how often people ask when she will have her next baby.

“Don’t ask about people’s next babies,” Paytas added. “Because there’s a lot of reasons people might not have babies, so be cautious with your words.”
