Shiloh named after Jolie's brother

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt named their baby daughter after the actress' brother James Haven Voight - he has revealed.

Haven claims he was originally given Shiloh - which means 'messiah' or 'peaceful one' - as a middle name by his and Jolie's parents Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand, before they switched it at the last minute.

The 33-year-old actor tells Grazia magazine: "At the last second, my parents gave me Haven instead.

"It was very cool when Brad and Angie came to me and said: 'We're thinking of names and our favourite is Shiloh. We know that was your original name, so would that be OK?'.

"I was almost in tears - I was so honoured."
