Angelina Jolie gives birth to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt

[ediebrooks]

It's a horrible name but I was expecting worse.

[buttmunch]

Shiloh when I was young
I used to call your name,
When no one else would come
Shiloh you always came.........
..or something
Dont even know what the song is about ...........does anyone else know???????

I believe we're talking Neil Diamond here. I like the name...not too nutty but different. At least they didn't name it Jack or Kate. Every single person I know seems to have a kid named one of those and quite frankly, both names are going to the dogs as a result.

I like enough the name Shiloh, in fact. I read somewhere that Nouvel was inspired by French architect Jean Nouvel… it would be interesting if it were true. I am fan also.

^^ It still sounds stupid if you speak French (and I thought Jolie was supposed to) - it's like naming a kid Novel or Novelty in English

Shiloh sounds like the fifth tweenie to me - Bella, Jake, Milo, Fizz and Shiloh

(Tweenies = crap english kid's prog, see pic)




Also, Nouvel is a brand of toilet roll in england:



How can they not have known that? They lived here for ages and were always pictured in the bloody supermarket! Crap choice of names!!!

Shiloh doesn't flow with Jolie-Pitt, but Shi does. I like the sound of Shi Jolie-Pitt....a good stage name. Her last name is Jolie-Pitt. I've seen some very ugly kids come from beautiful looking parents....we have to wait and see.

Shiloh will easily mute into shitload in the playground

I think it's not a great name. reminds me of a US Civil War battlefield.
But I'm glad everything went well. Well as much as we have heard. No news on vag or c-section, no news on weight or height either.... But I'm glad thye are happy. Having babies are the happiest times!

Yep, Neil Diamond. I love that song. It's about a lonely child having an imaginary friend.

I think it's a nice name. First thing I thought of when I heard it was the Civil War battlefield, then the book (also good), and now I have Neil's song stuck in my head.

i think its a pretty name it so would've been great if she had June 2

[ohmygoodness]

^^ ITA.

I have a friend named Shiloh, and nobody has ever seriously made fun of her for it. I think it's a really pretty name. Like someone else said, at least it's a real name, it's not made up.

I do speak French, and it doesn't sound stupid to me. Mais bon, à chacun ses références...

[Elvira]

I don't mind the name Shiloh, it's the Pitt part that is horrible. Hopefully
she'll drop her father's last name when she's older, like Angelina did.

[cars277]

well the Israeli newspapers has some ideas about the name:
1. it's supposed to be shi-loh in hebrew shi=a gift, loh=to him.
2. or it's shiloh which was a biblical city in the old Israel.

Dans ce cas Novel or Novelty en Anglais must sound fine to you as well...but it wouldn't to most people...
