Influencer couple brutally mocked over newborn son's obscure name: 'He's going to be teased'
An influencer couple has been brutally mocked online over their newborn son's obscure name.
Clarissa Caleb and Shaquan Roberts, known as Riss & Quan, have gained more than three million subscribers on YouTube by documenting their day-to-day endeavors as parents to three young boys.
But when they recently revealed their youngest son's moniker to the world, they faced immense backlash over what they decided to name him.
In a video shared to TikTok earlier this week, Clarissa and Shaquan were seen holding up a heart-shaped glass case that was filled with little balls.
'Baby boy's name is...' Clarissa said before trailing off.
'Three, two, one,' Shaquan said as he opened up a small hole at the bottom of the glass case.
The balls then fell out one by one, eventually revealing their newborn's moniker written underneath: Secure Arris Roberts.
The clip got nearly three million views, and many people took to the comment section to slam the unusual baby name.
'Who names they baby Secure?' asked one user.
'What's wrong with parents these days?' wondered another.
'Sometimes I think y'all forget you are naming future adults,' someone else wrote.
'Secure? You parents in this generation really don't get it. "Secure" is a word that describes a feeling. It's not a name. But to each his own,' read a fourth comment.
A fifth said, 'They be calling anything as names to kids these days.'
'You guys owe him an apology,' a different user scathed.
'Poor baby when he starts school he's going to be teased,' added another person.
The couple also share sons Shine Anthony Roberts and Saviour Azaire Roberts.

In a follow-up video, they explained, 'As you guys can see we decided to keep the theme of the [initials] SAR.'
'Shaquan came up with the first name and I came up with the middle name,' Clarissa dished.
Clarissa also pointed out that his middle name 'has a little piece of her' in it, explaining, 'Arris actually means "best" or "superior." But it also has "ris" in there.
'It's Greek and my first name, Clarissa, is Greek as well. I just thought it was cute, I don't know.'
'We put a ton of thought into his name, like we always do,' Shaquan added. 'We definitely wanted to go with something unique, a name that pretty much not many people in this world have.
