James Gunn has a hilarious reaction (and some genuine concern) to Trisha Paytas naming her son Aquaman

Overview

  • Trisha Paytas revealed on July 22 that her son, born July 12, is named Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon, continuing her pattern of pop-culture-inspired names for her three children.
  • At San Diego Comic-Con, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn praised the choice as “cool” but said he hopes the child “does okay in school” after enduring teasing over his own surname.
  • Gunn questioned whether the boy might go by a nickname such as “AQ” and asked if children still tease classmates over unusual names.
  • Peacemaker stars Frank Grillo and Tim Meadows both insisted that baby Aquaman will be fine, with Grillo highlighting the resilience that comes from growing up in New York.
  • Paytas has not issued any new comments and the discussion remains focused on potential teasing, nickname strategies and the role of personal branding in influencer culture.
