The REAL reason Angelina picked Knox
Monday, 14 July 2008
Everyone knows that choosing the right name for your child is important as it can have an huge impact on how they live their lives. It is even more important when you are a celebrity and your child will be under the spotlight.
We all want to know the REAL reason Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt picked the names Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline for their twins...
Celebrities seem to have a habit of picking strange names for their kids and fans are often left wondering why?
Nicolas Cage called his son Kal-el which is the birth name of Superman, Courneney Cox picked Coco for her daughter's name and who can forget Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter Apple!
Baby name 1 : Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt
Maybe baby Knox has ginger hair and Angelina decided to name him after Barbara Knox, the actress who plays newsagent Rita Sullivan in Coronation Street.
His middle name could be a shout out to last years X Factor winner Leon Jackson. It would help the Scottish star break into America if he decided to follow in the footsteps of Leona Lewis.
Baby name 2 : Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt
His sister Vivienne will be a style icon as she grows up so maybe she was named after Vivienne Westwood the English Fashion designer.
If this is the case maybe she will be getting some special one-of baby outfits from the designer?
The Official Brad and Angelina verdict
Knox was named after Brad's grandfather Hal Knox Hillhouse, and also shares the same last letter as the couple's adopted sons Maddox, six, and four-year-old Pax.
Vivienne's middle name is in honour of Angelina's late mother Marcheline Bertrand - who died last year.
