babynames | Twins for Brangelina!

Don't know why...but I had a feeling this whole time that she would give birth to them on my birthday! And if they really were born on the 12th, then my feeling was right! Don't care for her or Brad too much, but I can't deny that they make pretty babies. :)

Happy Birthday!

Yay for digestible celeb baby names!

I am still on the fence about Knox.

I like Knox (or I would like it better if now all three boys' names didn't end with 'x') but not Leon. And definitely not Leon with Knox.

I hate Knox. That makes her boys:

Maddox, Pax and Knox.

Are you KIDDING me? Sounds like a series of silly noises you make with your tongue.

She really does like the "X" sound and I'm not sure I like it. It's so repetitive, IMO. I do like the name Maddox, but the others just seem like overkill.

The girl's name is beautiful though!

...Marcheline? O.o

Marcheline was Angelina's mother's name - I believe she passed away fairly recently, didn't she?

I love the name Vivienne, and the significance of Marcheline. It's not a name I'd pick, but honoring family members forgives a lot of name sins I'd otherwise take issue with.

I don't care for Knox Leon at all, and I agree that Knox/Pax/Maddox is overkill with the X sounds.

Vivienne is the only name of all their brood that I actually like.

Is Knox a boy then? It sounds masculine and she has a pattner of final -x's in her boys' names.

I like Vivienne!

I thought she was having two girls? One turned out to be a boy? LOL.

Knox is silly, but I live Vivienne. And it's cool the middle name is after her Mum.

They were born the day before my b'day (which is today ^_^) :D

Happy birthday! :)

It's official, Shiloh really is the odd one out.
Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Knox, Vivienne.
No obscure letter in Shiloh's name. :P

That being said, I'm loving Knox Leon, but Vivienne Marcheline doesn't seem to fit, does it?

except for the repeat h in Shiloh :P

I'd say Vivienne is the odd one out, it's the only legit western name!

Knox is horrible, makes me think of Knox gelatin, but I'm loving Marcheline so much that I wish they hadn't used it, lol, thought they probably made it up but I googled it and it's her mother's name.. they look a lot alike, she's Angelina without that yicky mouth. I think the rest of their childrens' names are horrible as well. Too many xes. I get irritated when Maddox gets lumped in with the rest.. she adopted him with Billy Bob Thornton. I have no problem with step-parenting and siblings being the same to each other regardless of how they're related, but call it what it is.. sorry just seems part of the whole nauseating celebrity thing.. removable daddy.

Ew, but wait, Marcheline is apparently some silly smooshing of her mother's first and middle names, but her mom did go by it. Ugh.

I see by researching.. and it makes me nauseous to research them , that Pitt did adopt the kids. Still.. removable daddy. Thornton not having custody doesn't make him not the father.

Don't like them. Any of them. At least they're all real, normal(ish) names, compared to her other kids' names, but I don't like them. Knox Leon seems to flow oddly to me, I guess maybe because they're both short names. It sounds kind of like "Knoxly On".

Marcheline I mind less because it's obviously to honour her mother, but I'm still not a fan.

Vivienne is very high up on my list. Knox is strange, and a bit too close to Pax and Maddox for comfort.

My mother's winning comment of the day- "If she has one more boy, she's going to name him Lox".

Edited 2008-07-13 13:18 (UTC)

Hahaha, your mother is funny. ;o)

Marcheline, as someone pointed out is to honor her mother.
Knox is the middle name of Brad Pitt's maternal grandfather, I believe. and Leon is Angelina's Great Great Grandfather, or something.

So, I like that they use family names... but I do agree that the MaddoX, PaX, KnoX is a little much for me.

I don't like either of them. Leon and Marcheline are nice, but Vivienne is just...I don't like that name a lot more than I dislike Knox.

Yes, it's close to Pax and Maddox obviously, but they seem to have a theme and this way is named after family; Knox sounds more Western than both of them though.

They're nice though. Pretty 'normal', I would say. Shiloh is still my favourite name though.

I hate Knox, but Vivienne Marcheline is awesome. I can't believe one of them got a great name like Vivienne!

Also, Knox is WAY too close to Pax and Maddox. But maybe they were going for a theme...? :-\

It's made up for by the awesomeness of Vivienne, though.

I heard on the news this morning that the boy was named Knox, but I missed what the girl's name was, and I discussed with some friends how celebs should not be allowed to name their babies anymore because too many have tried and failed, and how Angelina's kids all have (imo) awful names that don't even seem like names to me. But then I found out that the girl is named Vivienne and that's so pretty, I prefer Vivian but still, it just shocked me that she'd chosen something so NORMAL and NICE. So that's one win, five losses for her.

vivienne is so ...classy and glamorous sounding compared to all of the other kids.

i agree with pretty much everyone else, she seems to have a thing for obscure letters. whatever. i cant stand those two anyway, so im not going to waste any more brain space on it.

I don't like Knox. Fort Knox. Knox geletin. Hard knocks. It's just weird to say and I don't like the feel of it in my mouth. Knox. I guess it's a family name so... ok. But if they wanted a name with X, I wish they'd use Felix. I LOVE the name Felix and actually wish it would get more popular.

Vivienne Marcheline is pretty. Though I'm a little disappointed it wasn't Isla Marcheline like in earlier rumors. I thought that was a perfect name for a Brangelina baby.

Knox, Vivienne, Shiloh, Pax, Maddox, Zahara
or
Felix, Isla, Shiloh, Pax, Maddox, Zahara
:-/

Vivienne Marcheline is pretty awesome, though not my style at all. I hate Knox, and I'm on the fence about Leon - is it LEE-on, or LEE-own, or LAY-own? I'm okay with any but the first pronunciation.

It could be the French pronunciation, Lay-ON.

Lol I think I'm in the minority, but the only name I can't stand of her children is Shiloh. I don't even like creatyve names, but Maddox, Pax, and Knox is cute, and Zahara, Shiloh, and Vivienne all have strong names that catch people's attention without being too over the top (Moon Unit, anyone?).

I agree with you, but the only one that bugs me is Shiloh's middle name. Yeah, it is funny all the boys got x's, but I like it better than the Duggars J fetish. At least they are all what I consider real names (I like surnames and place names, etc). I don't think Knox Leon flows very well, but I'll hold off judgement until I here how they are pning Leon.

I really do like Vivienne. I'm not crazy about Knox but it's a world better than Shiloh. :)

Wasn't Knox a character in "Dead Poet's society?" LOL

Do the children have hyphenated names or do they just go by Pitt because Knox Pitt sounds absolutely terrible.

Edited 2008-07-13 20:38 (UTC)

Jolie-Pitt

Shiloh is definitely the only one who lucked out.

I've heard Knox is Brad's grandpa's name...so I guess it's a nice gesture. I just don't like all the xs. and Vivienne is such an old lady's name. I hate it. I really love Marcheline though.

I wonder if she'll get one tattoo with the geographical coordinates for Nice, or two identical ones.

She should have gone someplace else really quick after popping the first one out. Like, GET THE AMBULANCE, WE NEED TO DRIVE ONE TOWN OVER!

I have never, ever heard of Knox gelatin. So that name doesn't bother me. It's not my style, but I don't think it's awful. And I LOVE Vivienne!! Such a beautiful, classic name.

I actually really like Shiloh too, and I think Zahara is pretty, despite the criticism flowing in from every direction. Maddox is cute for a little boy. I can't see it aging well, though. And Pax...it's a lovely name in theory, but I have a hard time seeing it as a name that could work on a person.

I think I'd prefer Leon Knox, but I love Vivienne.
