Trisha Paytas has revealed she almost named her newborn baby Water Snake instead of Aquaman Moses.
The social media personality, 37, gave birth to her third child - a baby boy - with husband Moses Hacmon in a 'traumatic' delivery on July 12.
Speaking on her podcast Just Trish, the former Celebrity Big Brother star revealed she almost gave the tot anotheer name, based on a poem.
She said: '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.
'I loved [the movie] Water World. I loved the name Water. At the end of the day, Moses loves water, I've adopted his philosophy.'
Moses originally shared his poem on YouTube in 2017.
Meanwhile, along with Aquaman and Water Snake, Trisha had some other big ideas for names for the baby.
She said: 'I did love Moses Jr., too. I really love that too. And I liked Aladdin. It wasn't water-themed, but I always loved Aladdin. Moses hated that. He vetoed Paper Man and Aladdin. pretty quick, so we switched.
'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.
'[Aquaman is] of two heritages, like our baby. He connects the land and sea, which is Moses' order at Benihana. He can talk telepathically to fish. He's also blonde and brunette, which - plot twist: our Aquaman has blonde hair.'
In a post featuring photos of the newborn, Trisha gushed: 'AQUAMAN MOSES PAYTAS-HACMON (blue heart emoji) Born 07.12.25 @ 12:40 am.'
Trisha and her husband also have daughters Malibu Barbie, two, and Elvis, one.
Trisha detailed the grueling moments leading up to his birth on her podcast, explaining she feared for her life.
'This was the most chaotic, traumatizing labor of my life. Like I was literally like, my water was breaking for three hours straight, I was like so scared,' Trisha explained.
'It was July 11th, it was 7/11, which I was super excited about... I didn't have the baby until 7/12 at like one in the morning. I was like, 'Oh my God.'
'Water broke... it was soaked everywhere, I was so scared, I'm having the worst contractions of my life. I'm 37, so like having a baby at 37 is way different than having a baby at 34 'cause I was like, actually, I actually thought I was going to literally like die,' she said. 'I was like, 'I don't know if I can handle this.''
The baby was born ahead of schedule, which was just one of several obstacles Trisha faced the day she gave birth.
'This night, for some reason, everyone was getting emergency C-sections, because there was like three people and two operating rooms and one doctor on call. By the way, my doctor was out of town,' she said.
Eventually, their child was born.
'They delivered it quickly. They delivered our baby in 10 minutes,' she explained.
Fans expressed relief - and concern - after Trisha posted the update about the difficult birth.
'Reading the caption and it saying her birth was traumatic is making me sad. I'm glad she and baby are here, and praying she recovers fully,' one fan commented.
'That sounds super traumatic. So glad everything turned out well. Congratulations on your beautiful family Trisha love you and wishing you healing after birth,' another posted.
'I'm so relieved you're okay! I was worried about my mother! So happy for you,' another posted.
'I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE BACK. I WAS GETTING WORRIED AND NERVOUS THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED BUT IM SO RELIEVED THAT I WAS BEING OVERDRAMATIC AND THAT YOU AND THE BABY ARE HEALTHY AND EVERYTHING IS OKAY. Can't wait to find out the name!!!!'
Trisha announced her pregnancy in March with a family photo captioned 'MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN! BABY #3 COMING JULY 2025.'
Several fans, meanwhile, were not a fan of the name Trisha had given her son.
'Trisha... that is ridiculous. Malibu was cute and I dealt w Elvis but Aquaman is out of control,' one wrote.
'Why would you name your kid that!' another commented.

'Poor kid what a terrible name,' another posted.
'Serious? you named a baby Aquaman? I wouldn't want to be that kid in elementary school,' one mused.
'I think she uses fake names for the public or that is what I'm choosing to believe,' one speculated.
Trisha previously revealed the thought process for their kids' unusual names in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2023.
'She's like a little girl, so I just get to dress her up! Like, I was so excited to have a boy or a girl, but now that she's a girl I just, like, dress her like a mini-me. She's so much fun... she's very Malibu Barbie.'
And with Elvis, the couple picked out the name and were committed to it regardless of the gender of their child.
'Life has changed so much, for the better, I feel like. There's still the funness, and I can still cosplay and do crazy things, but it's just better now, 'cause I have a little partner and it's just so fun,' she told ET.
Adding: 'Nothing else matters once you have a kid. It's like, that's all that matters and nothing else matters, so, like, I'm oblivious to everything in the world. It's great!'
Trisha began her YouTube career in 2007, and has amassed over five million subscribers.
Since then she has opened an OnlyFans, has a podcast called Just Trish Podcast, a family channel on YouTube with Moses and Barbie and an ASMR channel - in addition to her original channel.
