In case you missed it, Trisha Paytas just had her baby and named him Aquaman Moses. Which we can all agree is iconic and unusual! But Trisha almost named him something even more iconic and unusual....
Water Snake.
This name comes from a poem written by Trisha's husband Moses Hacmon. As she put it on the podcast, Just Trish, "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,'" Trisha added. "It’s the Year of the Snake, Moses is a snake. We love water. I loved Water World. I loved the name Water. At the end of the day, Moses loves water, I’ve adopted his philosophy."
Other contenders? "I did love Moses Jr. too," Trisha said. "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."
As for how they settled on Aquaman, the Celebrity Big Brother U.K. star said "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."
"He’s of two heritages, like our baby," Trisha explained. "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."
Again: Lots to think about!
