Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the 18-year-old daughter of Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is making significant moves to change her legal name, signaling a shift in her personal identity. According to ABC News, Shiloh has been diligently publishing a legal notice in the Los Angeles Times for the past few weeks, announcing her intention to drop her father's surname, "Pitt," and be known as Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.

The process of changing her name legally began when Shiloh turned 18 on May 27. On that day, she submitted the necessary paperwork to formalize her name change. The legal notice, required by California law, has been published weekly since June 17. This step is part of a standard legal procedure, not an announcement, as clarified by a source close to the family: "publication of the legal notice of a name change is required by California law, and it's the standard language, meaning it's legally required.

Shiloh is the latest of her siblings to make a similar change. Her sister Zahara was the first to drop "Pitt" from her name, choosing to introduce herself as Zahara Marley Jolie during an introduction ceremony event after joining the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. Vivienne, Shiloh's 15-year-old sister, also followed suit, being credited as "Vivienne Jolie" for her co-production work on the Broadway production of The Outsiders, a project that won a Tony Award for her and Angelina.
