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?

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

'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.

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...

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 😂

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

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!

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

Branleuse · 25/01/2018 10:40

i think its pretty

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.

ReelingLush18 · 25/01/2018 11:06

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

NinonDeLenclos · 25/01/2018 11:43

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

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)

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?

RavenWings · 25/01/2018 12:03

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

daisydiddlex · 29/01/2018 15:19

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