BEIJING, April 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Angelina Jolie has filed a petition in Los
Angeles County Superior Court to add boyfriend Brad Pitt's last name to
that of her newly adopted son, Pax, according to media reports Wednesday.
Jolie, in court documents obtained by U.S. Weekly,
states that she is "the sole adoptive parent of the child" and is asking for the
name change "in order that her child's last name will incorporate and be
combined with the last name of her partner and be the same as that of her other
children."
So her new son's name would change from Pax Thien
Jolie to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.
Angie adopted 3-year-old Pax from a Vietnam orphanage
in March and immediately changed his name from Pham Quang Sang to Pax Thien. Pax
translates to "peace" in Latin, while Thien has a definition of "heaven" or
"sky" in Vietnamese.
Pitt has a daughter, Shiloh, with Jolie and has
become the adoptive father of her other two adopted children, 5-year-old son,
Maddox, from Cambodia, and 2-year-old daughter, Zahara, from Ethiopia.
Shiloh, Maddox and Zahara already share the last
names of Jolie and Pitt, though the couple has not married and say they have no
plans to wed.
The 31-year-old Oscar-winning actress co-starred with
Pitt in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
