Trisha Paytas Sparks Internet Frenzy After Naming Third Child ‘Aquaman’

In a move that has set social media ablaze with mixed reactions, American internet personality and YouTube star Trisha Paytas has once again proven that she knows how to command attention. The influencer, known for her viral moments, dramatic life updates, and unpredictable content, made headlines after revealing the name of her third child — Aquaman. Yes, Aquaman, as in the DC Comics superhero brought to life on screen by actor Jason Momoa.

The internet erupted almost immediately after the announcement, with fans, critics, and confused onlookers taking to platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok to share their thoughts. The news broke when Trisha posted a series of maternity and newborn photos on her Instagram account, complete with the caption: “Welcome to the world, my perfect little merman. Aquaman Paytas is here 🧜‍♂️💙🌊.” Within minutes, the comment section was flooded with everything from disbelief and laughter to admiration and utter confusion.

“Is she trolling us again or is this real?” asked one follower. “That baby’s going to swim through life with a name like that,” another quipped. Others, however, praised her boldness and creativity, calling it “iconic” and “so on brand for Trisha.”

Trisha Paytas has long been a polarizing figure in the entertainment world, known for her candidness, her eccentric personality, and her willingness to blur the lines between personal life and public spectacle. From her viral mukbangs and chaotic YouTube rants to her emotional vlogs and appearances on various reality shows, she has cultivated a persona that thrives on unpredictability. Her fans — affectionately known as the “Trish army” — know better than to expect anything ordinary when it comes to her life choices.

Still, naming a child after a superhero, even in today’s age of unconventional baby names, has left many stunned. Some argued that while celebrities often choose unique names for their children, Aquaman might be pushing the envelope. One commentator wrote, “We had Apple, North, X Æ A-12… and now, ladies and gentlemen, Aquaman Paytas. We are officially living in a simulation.”

Paytas, however, seems unbothered by the criticism. In a follow-up TikTok video, she addressed the reactions with her typical blend of humor and sarcasm. “People name their kids after flowers, cities, emotions. Why not a king of the sea?” she asked, wearing a glittery mermaid-inspired dress while rocking baby Aquaman in her arms. “Besides, it’s not just a name, it’s a vibe.”

Sources close to Paytas revealed that she had been contemplating the name for months and had even hinted at it in a past podcast episode, where she joked about wanting her children to “sound like legends or fantasy characters.” At the time, fans thought she was being dramatic, but now it appears she was serious all along. The name also reportedly holds personal significance to Paytas, who has expressed a lifelong fascination with mermaids, aquatic themes, and mythology.

This is not the first time Trisha Paytas has made headlines for her unconventional parenting choices. Her second child, Malibu Barbie Paytas-Hacmon, already made waves with her name upon birth. While many dismissed that announcement as another PR stunt or influencer gimmick, Trisha stood firm, defending her right to name her child whatever she pleased. “People name their kids after billionaires and dictators and no one blinks. But I give mine a fabulous name and it’s suddenly the end of civilization,” she said at the time.

With Aquaman now joining the Paytas-Hacmon family, fans are curious to see what’s next. Will he grow up to embrace the underwater legacy of his name? Will he make appearances in Trisha’s videos? And perhaps the most pressing question of all: what name could possibly top Aquaman if Trisha ever decides to have a fourth child?

While critics argue that such bold names could subject children to teasing or identity issues, others counter that in an age dominated by social media, uniqueness is an asset. “Let’s be real,” one fan posted on Reddit. “By the time Aquaman is old enough to care, there will probably be six kids in every school named ‘Wolverine’ or ‘Zendaya.’ He’ll be just fine.”

Despite the controversy, one thing is certain: Trisha Paytas knows how to stay in the spotlight. Whether it’s through her vlogs, her dramatic life updates, or her eye-popping baby names, she remains a force to be reckoned with in the world of online entertainment. Love her or hate her, the numbers don’t lie — her engagement is through the roof, her fan base remains loyal, and she continues to shape the influencer landscape in her own chaotic way.

As for baby Aquaman, he may have just been born, but he's already making waves — literally and figuratively. Whether he ends up swimming competitively, starring in family YouTube vlogs, or just enjoying a quiet life far from the limelight, one thing is guaranteed: with a name like that, the world will always remember his entrance.

In the meantime, Trisha is reportedly enjoying her maternity leave and bonding with her newborn in their Los Angeles home. She’s also hinted at launching a new baby clothing line inspired by oceanic themes, because of course she is. Fans can expect updates, themed photoshoots, and likely more TikToks to come — possibly featuring baby Aquaman floating in a seashell-shaped crib.

While many may scratch their heads or roll their eyes at the name, Trisha Paytas remains unapologetically herself. And in the ever-evolving circus that is pop culture, perhaps that’s what makes her truly unforgettable.
