OlderIntroducing… Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt
New reports from Vietnam are coming in that Angelina Jolie has renamed her 3-year-old adopted son from Pham Quang Sang to PAX THIEN JOLIE (soon to be PAX THIEN JOLIE-PITT).
In Latin, “PAX” means “peace.” In Vietnamese, “THIEN” means “sky.” The coolness factor pretty much matches up with the rest of the pack: Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh. PAX. THIEN. JOLIE. PITT.
But it has been confirmed that Angelina has completed procedures with Vietnamese authorities to adopt. Just one more hoop to jump through: U.S. consular and embassy officials must give approval.
In short… Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will soon have four children: 5-year-old son Maddox adopted from Cambodia, 3-year-old son Pax adopted from Vietnam, 2-year-old daughter Zahara adopted from Ethiopia and 10-month old daughter Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May 2006.

Angelina has a political advisor, so I would think that she would also have a pro helping her through this adoption as well. Don’ you think she has people around her like maybe a psychiatrist or some kind of doc that can help her and her family as they make this transition? She has said that it is not has hard as it would be for your average american mom because she is rich and can afford help when it is needed. my guess he will get used to BOTH names… He will respond to pax and sang.
TOMANYKIDS: You sure are spending lots of time jumping threads and commenting about someone you don’t like. Can you imagine how productive you could be if you actually put this same amount of time into a project that you did like? Are you the victim of a lobotomy as well? Go grab a life, sweetie. Yours seems to suck.
#113 When women marry they change their last names to their husband’s names. Feel any better?????
kip, of course I must be a “hater”. Whenever somebody questions the actions of another person, it’s because they hate them. Right?

Well haters have to harp on something. They wouldn’t be haters afterall. They can’t harp on the adoption itself, they can’t harp on AJ’s weight, they can’t harp on Pax. So why not the name. They are becomming amusing to me. Harp on people, When it is so easy to read all the lovely posts that give such eloquent thoughts and explanations about the adoption.
JIMINYC:
Surely that doesn’t matter to woman-of-the-world, lover-of-all-cultures Angelina Jolie? The woman must have to do mental gymnastics to accommodate all of her conflicting belefs/lies.
*********************************************************************
That is why you are being called a hater.

please
Uh, but not their given names. I doubt anyone would be fussing if they’d had him adopt their surname, but allowed him to retain his given name.
what is the problem of changing the name of the boy? he’s only 4 yrs old, he’ll get used 2 his new name in no time, duh? n also, am sure he don’t speak english again he’s 4 yrs old he can speak/learn 2 speak english in no time after that he’ll probably 4get the language that he used 2 speak wanna bet?

This child’s name was PHAM, it still should be! What a selfish bit*h giving him a designer name because it sounds cool. Whatever. She just totally took his identity from him, now he’s someone else. grrrrrrrrrrrr. i don’t like her or her motives
—-
And “tomanykids” that last line of your post says it all. It makes your opinion not even one worthy of discussion on any level because you have it written on your heart in what appears to be indelible ink the fact that it wouldn’t matter what she did or didnt do because like you wrote and I quote “i don’t like her or her motives.”
Again, changing a name beats the hell out of life on the street as a homeless child.
So sweet for all the haters to be so concerned about Pax’s life. Don’t worry about him or his new name. The first 5 minutes of his new life will no doubt be happier than all of your miserable existences. Movin on……….
I will go with ~~ BAMZSP~~
please Bit*h, when a woman takes on a spouses name they are GROWN!
I can’t stand this self-centered cun*!Bdj your comment amuses me when i’ve seen you on other threads hating on the ex. STFU
I like the name Pax.. I love the meaning as well. It is a vietnamese name and not a “designer name”. Most likely for now he will be called the vietnamese version of sweetie or honey or some kind of endearment. Three is still young and he will adapt very well since he has such loving and thoughtful parents. I know two adoptive families who changed their kid’s names to american names so the children would fit in. One child was almost 5 years old. Also, I would think it could be very hard on the child if he was still called Sang in this country. He might be made fun of and teased. Angie and Brad are doing what is best for their son. I am very happy for them all.
Why is everyone so pissed off that she changed his name? This is common in adoptions, and I didn’t think it was a big deal. No one makes a big deal when someone else adopts a child and gives them a new name. In most adoptions there is a name change, even with older children they have to get a new last name. What’s the big deal. I think some people just want to have a reason to complain about something when it comes to Angelina Jolie. First it was why does she want so many kids? it’s too soon to adopt again, blah, blah, blah. People are just jealous. Every family does what’s best for them. Brad couldn’t make it to the adoption, and some people want to see this as something ominous. But in most cases when there is an adoption, particularly if the couple have other children, only one parent travels to the country to pick up the child. I watch Adoption Story on the Discovery Channel and usually this is what happens. No one says their marriages/relationships are in trouble.

Pham is not a practical name coming to America. Some kids might tease him as a girl (Pam). Pham to Pax, I am sure Angie and Brad thought about the name diligently and Pax suits him best.
Why can’t you just be happy for them. Picky, picky!
I was thinking Brad must be excited and anxious right now stuck in L.a. Lmao! poor guy! He is going to have two sons. awww

Now you are really amusing. Your motives are too clear. Don’t need to hate on anyone, particulary a world famous X. Now a couple of jokes, I’m up for that. peace.
Like I said they will most likely still call him pham or sang (what was his name) as well as pax through out the years. I don’t see a big deal … he was just blessed with many names. that’s all.

why are you here?
TOMANYKIDS: Nice sewer of a mouth. Go drink some bleach and clean that thing out, will ya? Again, why not go do something you like? You are a freak of nature for spending all your time here. If it is just to stir the pot, I imagine Pax is more mature than you.

Beatiful name. I guess they did not listen to me about Orleans huh Izzie! Hey Izzie!
Oh, well, it’s fine. I love this name. Given our history with Vietnam, this is a great and symbolic name and wonderful. He looks a lot like Mad. Just like David Banda looks a lot like Rocco Ritchie - this often happens in adoptions.
Wonderful. Angie: you are an inspiration.
Welcome Pax!
BAMPZS!!!!!!!!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hey TLC - nice post. Pax is such a sweet looking young boy. I am very happy that the Jolie-Pitts are growing! I think that Angelina used great judement to take Mad along with her to help bring his brother home. Once those two little guys put their heads together, I bet they will become fast “best brothers” dealing with Cheerio stealing little sisters.
You are right, Angie is an inspiration.
Happy Day ! !

OK. I knew it. They are coming out of the woodwork, screaming that Angelina and Brad are over, that Angelina was selfish in this adoption, Brad does not want this child, Angelina has left Brad with the children, Brad has bailed because four children are just too much, etc.
Brad has a $150 million film riding on his back. The Vietnam officials sped up this adoption, the child was not to be available until April. Neither Brad nor Angelina were making a film when Zee was adopted. They had all their time free to do as they wished. The circumstances were different. Now Angelina has no work obligations at this time, her schedule is free. So she could go and get Pax at anytime, whenever the Vietnam officials notified them that Pax was available. Brad has to be very disappointed that he was not able to accompany Angelina to Vietnam at this time. He has been nothing but a loving father and partner to Angelina. What I just cannot understand is that some express giddy happiness that Brad is not in Vietnam, that this means that Angelina and Brad are through. Now how can one make an accurate interpretation of the status of a relationship based on one event, rather than on a patttern of events? There are now FOUR small children involved, how can some be so heartless, so callous, as to wish for the breakup of this family? Well, no surprise, that these foul individuals are spewing hate filled diatribes. Why would their behavior approach any rationality at this time? It hasn’t at any other time, and sadly, it appears that it never will. Irrational people stay irrational people.
Let’s see JGarner is filming in Canada. She has been there for a month. BenA is in LA, went up to visit last weekend, is back in LA. Are they breaking up because he is in LA and she is under contract filming in Canada?
Here’s wishing the best for all in this family. Pax has become a member of a loving family. Love his name.

Such a great post!!
As I have said I don’t give a flying **** of what haters say. They have been spewing the same amount of pure hate for tow years and nothing has changed. And they obviously have their own agenda hating on the Jolie-Pitts on everything they do so I’m not expecting any improvement from them.
What baffles me though judging for what “sad” posted on the other thread is that some “fans” have a completely unrealistic image of this family and they have putted Brad and Angie to live up to some specific standards and when they don’t follow their “laws” then something is wrong. Or they are just letting the haters to get under their skin.
We are talking about real grown people here with many experiences on their backs with real lives to live that may not always seem idealistic to some. They are not tow characters of a fairytale that you are reading to entertain your self. They know how their life is and how they can handle every situation they are going through and how they will operate in every case way much better than us here or anyone else out there.
Just because some of us here may had done something different in the same situation doesn’t mean that we are right and they are wrong. Maybe it’s exactly the opposite. So if you don’t agree with something fine. They are not obligated to follow anyone’s path but theirs. And if you indeed admire them about what they represent just stop projecting and accept them as they are.

There is no problem with it. Its the normal and very much expected response by those who look to find negativity in every move Angelina Jolie makes. If it werent the name, it would be something else, and rest assure that there WILL be something else. I try not to give them anymore power than they like to imagine they have, but sometimes I do need to point out their clear as cellophane obsession with picking her apart over things that if it were someone else doing it, not one of them would have much to say good or bad.
All these talk about changing the name is silly. Orientals oftentimes don’t even use their formal names that much. They always get nicknames and petnames when they’re young. It’s only when they grow a little older that they may think that’s become childish so they go with a name that they think sounds more like them. It’s like little Bobby (or Booboo) could ask to be called Bob or Robert just because they want to be taken as more mature.
It is a common practice too for Asians to change their names to a more western one when they come here to the US. Mostly because they want to blend or because they think their names will be hard for the westerners to pronounce. When you become a citizen here, they ask you if you’d like to keep your name or change it. I know a lot of people who did go for that deal.
People from the entertainment industry do it all the time. They change their names to suit their personality or to be more memorable. What’s the big deal???
Most of the posters claiming concern for the child having his name changed! are just using this as an excuse to rag on Angie and Brad. This is a very common thing for adoptees from foreign countries where their name might be a source of ridicule or teasing. If his name was Hung would people not thing it would be merciful for him to change it? Children can be cruel. Mia Farrow’s son is named Moses… Im sure that is not a Vietnamese name.
OT:
can any1 answer me please? was the show “Survivor” on yesterday? it usually starts at 7pm, i looked 4 it at CBS but i sure don’t c it, did i missed it, ne1, please answer me pronto, thanx

This is from her Elle interview:
“Madd and I talk about him being adopted, and he’s got some opinions about his brothers and sisters to come.” Maddox has already named the next addition to the family. ‘Last night I said to Brad, “If this becomes a reality, are we really thinking of that name?” He said, “Yes I think we have to!”
I love this Brad is so accomodating to his children. “I think we have to”, that is so cute.
——————–
Hee. Brad is so cute. I can almost hear him saying that, in his very ‘Brad-like’ way. lol
Awww - thanks for all the b-day wishes again guys!
You rock!
Amaya, I can’t wait to hear what Jon and Stephen will have to say about dude that’s confessing to everything under the sun terrorism related and otherwise — this guy will be confessing to the Kennedy Assassination next…!! It seems like such a crock to me - a way for Bush to say, see who we nabbed so long ago, and he’s responsible for everything under the sun too, including Global Warming (take THAT Al Gore!) - bwaha!! I think it’s all manufactured B.S. - but I can’t wait to hear the Daily Show take.
