YouTuber Trisha Paytas Urged To Change Her Newborn Baby’s ‘Cruel’ Name
The YouTuber revealed her second child’s name, and some of her fans urged her to change it.
Celebrities have become known for their unique choice in baby names – but some have claimed that YouTube star Trisha Paytas has really taken that to a whole new level.
Paytas rose to fame through her YouTube channel, which has become a platform for her life and thoughts.
Who is Trisha Paytas?
She’s also ventured into music, TV, and film, and appeared in several music videos for artists such as Eminem and Amy Winehouse.
But arguably, Paytas is best known for her controversies.
The YouTuber has been involved in numerous public feuds with other internet personalities, among other dramas.
Yet in recent years, the internet personality’s life has taken a new turn – she’s settled down and welcomed three adorable children.
And now, she’s making the headlines for her second child’s name…
What is her first child called?
People were shocked when Paytas welcomed her first daughter in 2022 and named her Malibu Barbie.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the internet personality said her little girl had grown into the persona.
She revealed: “She’s like a little girl, so I just get to dress her up! Like, I was 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.”
Now Paytas and her husband, Moses Hacmon, have welcomed their second daughter and once again, their name choice has made headlines.
One person comments: “This poor child’s gonna get picked on so bad for that name. I never understood why some people purposely do that to a child.”
Another adds: “What an awful name for a child. Whatever happened to just calling your child Emily or Jessica?”
“Please stop naming your children this stuff,” a third comments.
Someone else writes: “You know that baby is changing her name when she is old enough.”
“I can’t believe it, that’s so cruel,” a fifth person remarks.
Why is her second child’s name causing a stir?
While some fans have criticized Paytas’ baby name choices, others have taken to the comments and congratulated the star.
One person says: “Elvis is in the building!”
Another adds: “She just loves Elvis, and wanted it no matter the gender. Very cute, I think.”
“She’s fabulous like her mom,” a third fan writes.
Paytas revealed in November 2023 that she was pregnant with her second child, sharing photos in which she held a series of ultrasound images.
She welcomed her daughter on May 24, 2024, and announced her arrival the following month.
“Proud to announce the safe and happy arrival of our precious daughter, Elvis Paytas-Hacmon, 05.24.24,” Paytas told her Instagram followers.
In addition to photos of the YouTuber and her husband with the newborn, she shared snaps of their eldest meeting her baby sister.
Paytas previously revealed on her podcast Just Trish that she had ‘manifested’ calling her baby Elvis.
“I love all names, I think they’re so cute, but I’ve always manifested Malibu and Elvis,” she said (via New York Post). “It’s always been [one of the] names I’ve said, so that’s it.”
She added: “Elvis could be a masculine name, but we’d also give it to a girl.”
Since then, they welcomed their new baby boy, naming him something equally controversial.
The birth was an emergency C-section, which Trisha described as surprising and traumatic, but she shared that both she and the baby are healthy and doing well.
Since the birth of her second child, the unique baby name trend has continued as the couple extend their family.
In July 2025, they welcomed another little boy into their family, who they named Aquaman Moses.
And users online have not been silent about it.
One said: “Why would you ruin your child’s life over internet publicity?”
As another added: “The playground is gonna be hell for this kid.”
A third wrote: “Even chatgpt would’ve given you a better name.”
