A columnist for Britian’s The Guardian discusses Internet commentary on Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt’s odd name.

Shiloh is a hebrew name of course, but it could mean several different things:

“Nouvel,” which means “New” in French, should be spelled “Nouvelle,” its French feminine form, since it’s part of a girl’s name. Brad and Angelina may have made the grammatical error deliberately, though:

This makes sense, since Brad loves architecture and has admitted it’s one of his passions.

Brad is also narrating a show for PBS on environmentally friendly architecture called “Design: E2.” It will air in June.

A commentor on “A Socialite’s Life” noted that Pitt also gave Zahara her middle name, Marley:

Angelina should have let Brad name the baby, since Nouvel is a much prettier name - and much easier to pronounce - than Shiloh.

In related news, Angelina and Brad are showing their gratitude to Namibia by donating $300,000 to benefit the country’s state-run maternity wards. Their newborn has been offered Namibian citizenship from the grateful government.

Here are some pictures courtesy of JustJared that were probably taken at the World Economic Forum with a cameraphone. Until they come back to the states, scrounging for old low-res pictures is probably as good as it gets.

Update: pictures are from the Mr. and Mrs. Smith set during a break from filming.
