Angelina Jolie’s Daughter Vivienne Makes a Personal Decision About Her Name

Recent court filings have brought renewed public attention to the Jolie-Pitt family after reports that 18-year-old Vivienne Jolie-Pitt submitted a legal petition seeking to remove “Pitt” from her surname. According to publicly reported court documents, the petition was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on July 21, shortly after Vivienne reached the age of 18.

If the request is approved, her legal name would become Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. The filing reportedly lists the reason for the requested name change as simply “personal,” without providing additional explanation.
