Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt named after her place of conception. Eww.


We reported yesterday that Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt got her middle name from her architecture-loving daddy Brad, who admires French architect Jean Nouvel. The source we quoted thought Shiloh might be a tribute to the place where Brad and Angelina made sweet love to conceive the baby, but said that was uncertain:

It is possible that Pitt and Jolie have, according to a system fashionable in celebrity circles, named the baby after the location of its conception, but this is not immediately enlightening: there are better than 50 Shilohs in the US.

It turns out that there’s a Shiloh in California and Brad and Angelina were there nine months before the tot was born. How freaking original:

One suggestion is that the Hollywood couple named their first born after where they conceived. Shiloh is a place in California where the pair rendezvoused nine months ago while Brad was on a photo shoot.

That’s dumb, especially since Shiloh is a weird name that’s hard to pronouce. David and Victoria Beckham named their first son Brooklyn after his place of conception, but they’re not as bright as the Jolie-Pitts and can be forgiven for using such a trite baby-naming convention. Brooklyn also isn’t that bad of a name for a boy.

Not only is Shiloh going to have to live with that weird name, she’ll be cursed with visions of her parents having sex when people ask her how she was given her unique moniker. Even if your parents are super hot like Brad and Angelina, you still don’t want that image in your head.

  1. LOL.. Bryce Dallas Howard’s middle name is the place of her conception (Dallas/TX).. she said that on Leno and added “EWW… just what you want, a constant reminder that your parents had sex!”
    I hope it’s not true in case of Brangelina’s baby. Oh, and I’m still waiting for Queens Beckham to arrive.

  2. It would be funny if “Queens” was a boy! hehe. That’s too funny about Bryce Dallas Howard. Just writing this post made me think of my parents having sex.

  3. Good God am I glad non-celebrity people don’t do that. Otherwise, I’d be named “Taipei.” Yeesh.

  5. i really don’t think shiloh is that weird of a name…maybe because i knew a shiloh growing up? she was really cute and popular too. i dunno. shiloh is more than a normal name especially compared to “bluebell” and “apple”.

  6. Shiloh isn’t as odd a name as those common non-names, that’s true. I’ve just never heard it before. Is it pronounced Shy-low?
