Jolie in bid to change adopted son's name
Angelina Jolie has filed legal papers to change the name of her newly adopted son to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.
A legal petition filed on Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court states the US actress wants to change the three-year-old boy’s name so that it will include “the last name of her partner” (Hollywood star Brad Pitt) and be the same as that of the couple’s other children.
The petition was first reported by the syndicated US television programme “The Insider.”
Jolie travelled to Vietnam last month to adopt Pax from a Ho Chi Minh City orphanage.
The actress filed adoption papers as a single parent since she and Pitt are not married.
The pair’s other three children are five-year-old Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia; two-year-old Zahara, who was adopted from Ethiopia; and daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple last May.
