At 19, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has quietly taken a big step toward independence by legally dropping “Pitt” from her name. According to Entertainment Tonight, she paid for the legal process herself and hired her own lawyer — a move that reflects maturity and self-determination.
She’s not alone. Her siblings are making similar choices: Vivienne recently went by “Vivienne Jolie” in a Broadway playbill, and Zahara introduced herself as “Zahara Marley” during a sorority event. Each is carving out their own identity, apart from their famous parents.
Shiloh, often called “Shi,” recently used that name while being recognized for her choreography work — a subtle yet powerful sign of who she’s becoming. Known for valuing privacy, she’s chosen actions over words in defining her path.
Rather than a loud declaration, Shiloh’s name change feels like a quiet reclaiming of her own story — thoughtful, personal, and entirely her own.
