It's lovely, though I have only ever know male Shilohs. Perhaps it is unisex.

Pitt

I think it's beautiful but wouldn't use it because it's totally associated with Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. Sort of like calling your daughter Cher. Or Sade. Or Amy Winehouse.

I wouldn't because of the J-P connections either. But that doesn't stop it being a really lovely name - perhaps you're braver than me!

tanmu82 · 04/01/2010 16:11

I've liked that name for years and never heard of anyone with that name until the J-P's used it and ruined it for the rest of us :-( I don't think you would ever get away from the association and most people would assume that's where you got the idea ...

birdofthenorth · 04/01/2010 16:18

I wouldn't. Lovely name but I suspect Shiloh J-P will get more not less famous as the years go by!

mopsyflopsy · 04/01/2010 16:58

I don't think it sounds feminine at all...

RainRainGoAway · 04/01/2010 17:00

Yes its a great name. But everyone is going to compare her to THE Shiloh.

And I am afraid to say I think she is going to be a stunner. Not sure I would have liked the same name as the stunner of our day.

Of course had Brangelina come on MN, someone would have pointed out the Pile o'shitt pun before it was too late .

I always imagine an old man for Shiloh, kind of a Fagin character. Dunno why - Shylock from Merchant of Venice maybe.

SplitPea · 04/01/2010 17:28

I must admit that I hadn't heard it before the J-P's called their daughter Shiloh.

How is it pronounced?

MortaIWombat · 04/01/2010 17:35

Lovely name - unless your surname is Pitt. Because then, of course, if someone sponnerisms (?) it....
pile o' shit, anyone? Poor wee child.

ah the cult of celeb will be dead in years to come and no one will give a monkeys ass about what actors call their kids i reckon....
