Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s tomboy nickname

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the daughter of actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, has given herself a new nickname to feel more like her brothers.

The five-year-old is known for her tomboy habits and is now said to have asked her family to call her Shax because it is similar to the names of her siblings Maddox (10), Pax (7), and three-year-old Knox.

“For a while Shiloh had everyone in the family calling her Ben for some reason, but she grew tired of that,” a source says.

“These days she’s decided she wants to be known as Shax because Maddox, Pax, and Knox’s names all end in the letter x. Angelina and Brad are going along with it and think it’s cute.”

Angelina, who also has daughters Zahara (6), and three-year-old Vivienne with Brad, has previously revealed that Shiloh always wants to be like her brothers.

“Shiloh dresses like a little dude. Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style. It’s how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes [regular] suits. She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers,” Angelina says.
