If you thought Nara Smith or the Kardashians are alone when it comes to choosing unusual baby names, you are wrong, because Trisha Paytas just joined the list.
Paytas, who is an American internet personality, recently shared the name she chose for her newborn baby, the inspiration behind the name and also shared some shocking names she did not choose for him.
Taking to social media on Wednesday, July 23, Paytas shared with the world that she welcomed her baby boy and revealed the most unusual name you could think of.
“AQUAMAN MOSES PAYTAS-HACMON HAS ARRIVED 07.12.25. Thank you for all the well-wishes and fun videos guessing his name. It was so cute and made us feel so loved. Such a positive space bringing him into the world,” she captioned her post.

Aquaman is a fictional comic strip superhero that appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. In 2018, a movie was released based on this superhero.
In one of the episodes of her podcast, “Just Trish”, the mother of three shared the names she did not choose for her newborn baby.
“I will say my number one that we were so close to naming the baby is not a movie poster, but I loved it so much. It’s Moses’ poem Water Snake. I love Water Snake. It’s the Year of the Snake, Moses is a snake. We love water,” she said.
She also shared that Water, Aladdin and Moses Jr were some of the names she considered.
The name Aquaman, however, stood out for Paytas because she used to be a superfan of the movie and would often wear Aquaman t-shirts.
“I’ve been wearing Aquaman T-shirts for years, since 2017 when the first Justice League came out. I have gone to so many Comic Cons for Aquaman. And I really fell in love when we rewatched Aquaman,” she added.
Paytas’ baby name sent the internet into a frenzy because many people were predicting that she would choose a name that is unusual, but also many never anticipated that she would choose Aquaman.
@vanadag0at commented: “Mind you, he has to be an adult one day.”
“Ily (I love you) babe but Aquaman?” @shrjh17 said.
While @hy3n added: “Nara Smith has sum competition.”
Other social media users came up with the theory that the names she chooses to announce names that are not real, which Paytas later debunked the theory and shared a video saying that Aquaman is in fact her baby’s real and legal name.
“Hi everyone, it’s me and baby Aquaman who loves to sleep. This little boy loves to sleep… Let’s talk about the name, baby Aquama,n because the internet is very, very divisive on it.
“Now, obviously, I really don’t care; I shared the name with the world. It is his legal name, it is on his birth certificate,” she revealed.
