Shiloh Jolie Officially Drops Father Brad Pitt’s Last Name – National
Shiloh, the daughter of Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitthas successfully applied to legally change her name and be officially known as Shiloh New Jolie.

The announcement was first made in the Los Angeles Times in July, as is the practice under California law. State law requires that an adult wishing to change his or her name must publish his or her order to show cause documents in a newspaper for four consecutive weeks before their hearing date.
Shiloh’s court hearing to officially drop the last name “Pitt” took place Monday. Pitt, Angelina and Shiloh have not publicly commented on the name change.
Shiloh’s attorney, Peter Levine, earlier told People magazine that the 18-year-old decided to change her last name “as a result of painful events.”
Levine didn’t elaborate, though Shiloh’s name change comes amid a fierce legal battle between her famous parents, with Angelina alleging that Pitt was physically and mentally violent to her and their children. The official reason for Shiloh’s name change has not been publicly disclosed.
Angelina and Pitt share six children: Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.
