For a girl. Is it too 'sleb' related, like Demi or Harper? If it's possible to shed that then is it at all pretty?

Shiloh is beautiful. it means "to whom it belongs" or "mine"

RavenWings · 25/01/2018 12:03

I like it as a name, but it's very sleb, yes.

daisypond · 25/01/2018 11:53

Could you consider other "sh" girl's names, like Shelagh / Sheelagh / Sheila (due a comeback, I'd say) or Shona/Seonaid/Seona, etc?

WowserBowser · 25/01/2018 11:51

It reminds me of when people do bad fake Mancunian accents

Man chest OH

(And John Jolie-Pitt of course)

NinonDeLenclos · 25/01/2018 11:43

Why would you take a celeb's child name anyway?

ReelingLush18 · 25/01/2018 11:06

Not at all keen and it's a boy's name, surely?

daisypond · 25/01/2018 11:03

Shiloh is, at best, a boy's name - just as in Latin-based languages, names like Roberto and Paulo are boy's names and the girl's versions are Roberta and Paula. The fact that Shiloh has a "sh" sound, making it sound soft or feminine to some ears is neither here nor there.

Branleuse · 25/01/2018 10:40

i think its pretty

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 25/01/2018 10:28

It's lovely. Yes it's a Jolie-Pitt name but so what?

Mummblebee · 25/01/2018 09:55

Which if any do you like for a girl?
Suggestions of names also welcome xx

I don't think Shiloh Pitt goes by John because she thinks the name is shit, it's more to do with her identity.

I do think of the Pitt connection however after the initial 🤔 little Shiloh would make the name her own and Pitt would be forgotten about. A friend of mine named her daughter the most bizarre name I've ever heard...now I can't imagine her as anything else!

peaceloveandbiscuits · 03/10/2017 07:12

I know a British Shiloh in her teens - she pre-dates Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.

AddALemon · 03/10/2017 07:09

Op I've always wondered how this name is pronounced, is it shy lo? Blush it's not a name that comes up often but whenever I see an article about brangelina's clan I do always wonder 😂

Mrsknackered · 02/10/2017 20:06

I love it, but for a boy.

Shiloh Jolie Pitt isn't a fan I don't think seeing as she is going by John...

NuffSaidSam · 02/10/2017 19:39

'very few will mention Shiloh Pitt'

How can you possibly know that?! She could be super famous in 10-15 years time and not necessarily in a good way.

liquidrevolution · 02/10/2017 14:36

So long as your surname isn't Pitt. Brangelina clearly have never heard of Spoonerisms.

Sophronia · 02/10/2017 14:14

I like it for a boy.

MagicFajita · 02/10/2017 12:39

Of course she will , but by then other celeb names will be big , very few will mention Shiloh Pitt.

NuffSaidSam · 02/10/2017 11:49

Magic Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is only 11 years old! I imagine she will still be around when a baby born in 2017 grows up.

weebarra · 02/10/2017 11:04

Jolie-Pitt
Also a battle of the American Civil War

PandorasXbox · 02/10/2017 11:00

Lovely.

elevenclips · 02/10/2017 08:57

It's like Silo. Odd thing to name a child M or F.

MagicFajita · 02/10/2017 08:50

I think we need to keep using these "celeb" names and claim them back for ourselves. After all Shiloh born in 2017 probably won't hear any of this Shiloh Jolie-Pitt stuff when she's older , so what does it matter?

Blossomdeary · 02/10/2017 08:47

Don't do it - just don't!
