Shiloh Nouvel Pitt-Jolie Is Born
A Pitt-Jolie Child Is Born

And, lo, she has come to pass, the most celebrated of celebrity babies: Shiloh Nouvel Pitt-Jolie.
Angelina Jolie gave birth to Shiloh, a girl, Saturday night in Namibia, a statement from Brad Pitt's publicist said.
There were no details on how mother, baby and Pitt were doing.

The girl is the third for Jolie, 30, who previously adopted tots from Cambodia and Ethiopia, respectively. It is the first biological child for her and Pitt, 42, the Oscar-winning actress' offscreen costar.
Shiloh is a name of Hebrew origin meaning, "His gift," per thinkbabynames.com. It also associated with an 1862 Civil War battle, and a Neil Diamond song about a desperately lonely childhood. (Diamond's imaginary friend, however, spelled his name "Shilo.")
Shiloh's future classmates at Hollywood Montessori potentially include: Suri (Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes); Zolten and Moxie CrimeFighter (Mr. and Mrs. Penn Jillette); and, Moses and Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow-Chris Martin).
While Shiloh's parents have yet to marry, they are already entrenched in family life. In January, Jolie's two older children, Maddox and Zahara, formally added Pitt's surname to theirs. Pitt is in the process of becoming Maddox and Zahara's adoptive father.
Jolie and Pitt met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, their 2005 action hit. They've been an item since Pitt split with then-wife Jennifer Aniston in early 2005.
Though a Hollywood couple in the figurative sense, for the last several weeks, Jolie and Pitt have been a Namibian couple, holing up in that African republic to await the arrival of the baby. An ongoing Namibian radio station poll showed approval by a 52-48 margin Saturday that Jolie's birth day be declared a public holiday.
Jolie recently completed filming on the CIA saga The Good Shepherd, opposite Matt Damon and Robert De Niro. It was on the location set of that film that Jolie last January let slip that she was expecting.
Pitt is due to earn money for his growing family in Ocean's Thirteen, the latest heist in the Ocean's Eleven saga.
I bet that'll be one damn good-looking kid.

Why do celebrities always feel the need to give their children weird names? Why can't they just name the girl something simple like Miranda, Sonya, or Ashley?
I wonder if we can look forward to this girl and TomKat's daughter working together in a movie when they hit their teens?

Possibly, especially for all the die-hard Confederate fans, as that battle was the turning point for the war where the Union army began to gain and maintain the upper hand.

Ashleigh
Ashley
Ashlee
Jordan
Jordyn
Jordin
etc.
I would name my daughter Rover before a cliched name like Ashley Rose or Courtney Nicole.
I'm on the edge of my seat until Brad & Angelina give her a brother, Bull Run Pitt.
