Trisha Paytas almost named her son Water Snake
While the 37-year-old influencer caused controversy when she revealed she and husband Moses Hacmon had named their new baby Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon, Trish revealed the moniker could have been very different.
Speaking on her podcast Just Trish, 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.'
Along with Aquaman, Trisha and Moses also have daughters Malibu Barbie, two, and Elvis, 13 months.

Jason Momoa shaves beard for Dune 3: Releases video announcing new partnership for Mananalu
Hollywood superstar Jason Momoa has shaved his iconic and beloved beard off, revealing immediately after that he 'hates' the result. 'Haven't shaved in six years, and here we are again,' Momoa wrote on Instagram. In a video of the shave-down, Momoa said: 'Damn, I hate it.' The Aquaman, Dune and Minecraft star revealed that the trim was the 'kick-off' for his role in Dune 3. 'This is the kick-off for Dune 3. Only for you, Denis,' he said, mentioning Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. In the first Dune instalment, Momoa stars as Duncan Idaho, a skilled and trusted swords master who trains main character Paul Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet. WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW Although Momoa hates his new baby-face look, the star might be grateful for the attention it is bringing to a cause close to his heart. The Hawaii-born actor has been working for over six years on an aluminium bottled water project called Mananalu. 'I want to tell you guys, and inform people that Mananalu, powered by Boomerang, is out there trying to make change,' he said. Momoa explained that he launched Mananalu to help eliminate single-use plastic. With the new partnership, which was announced in the beard-trimming video, Momoa said the company could bring in 'a closed-loop system that sanitises and bottles water onsite'. 'That means even less waste, reduced shipping footprint, and our aluminium bottles get reused over and over. 'This is the future, and we're starting in Hawai'i. 'Let's get rid of single-use plastic. 'For our children and for our planet. All my aloha.' The cause was applauded by Momoa's followers, regardless of how they felt about his new appearance. 'You look handsome either way, I am a huge fan of the beard however!' one fan wrote. 'He is beautiful no matter what. Thanks for using your platform for good,' wrote another.

How to make it out of the Shire as Christian, gay and Arab-Australian
Daniel Nour is a writer and journalist who grew up in Sydney's Sutherland Shire, the only son of Egyptian parents. He dearly loved his parents, who taught him how to stand up to bullies, drove him to Tournament of the Minds competitions, and helped him buy his first car, but he could never be his whole, true self around them. For most of his life, Daniel was in denial about being gay, despite his raging crushes on handsome film characters like cartoon Aladdin and the Scorpion King, played by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Daniel even very briefly contemplated life as a priest in order to escape the familial pressure to marry a woman and give his parents grandchildren. But after a confidence-boosting trip to Egypt, and then an embarrassing, dishonest appearance on national television, Daniel was finally honest with himself. Further information How to Dodge Flying Sandals and Other Advice for Life: An unreliable ethnic memoir is published by Simon and Schuster. Daniel is a member of Sweatshop Literacy Movement, you can keep up to date with his work at his website. Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.
