Welcome Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie welcomed healthy twins on Saturday night at Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France–a boy named Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt and a girl named Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt.
Vivienne is the French form of Vivian, which reflects her place of birth. Her middle name was chosen as a nod to her late grandmother, Marcheline Bertrand (Angelina’s mother who lost a battle with ovarian cancer). Knox was the middle name of Brad’s maternal grandfather (His mom was James Etta Hillhouse, her father was Hal Knox Hillhouse). Leon is the name of Angelina’s great-great grandfather.
To add fuel to the fire, Brad and Angelina’s attorneys at law firm, Lavely & Singer, snatched up all domain name combinations of the twins’ names mere hours ago. Here are all of the ones taken so far:

Errr… I’m still not sure about this, given that ‘Lisa’ never provided an actual link. And AFP… never heard of it.
Nevertheless, I like that family names may have been used. Some have pointed out that Knox, Pax, and Maddox sound the same, but Vivienne Marcheline sort of have sounds like Shiloh and Zahara’s middle names, Nouvel and Marley.
Just think if Star magazine paid someone for that information that said Angie was pregnant with twin girls. If they did and the person or persons gave them bogus info I will be ROTFLMAO.
If they gave Star info it was obviously the wrong info. I could never understand why if the info was true why Brad and Angie hadn’t or didn’t say something or sue her doctor for breach of confidential information. The thought of Star being played is so delicious. Peace
Can someone tell Jared that Brad’s MOTHER’s name is JANE not JAMES?
Maybe @ 07/13/2008 at 12:47 am
Jared was just typing fast. He meant to write Jane Etta not James Etta.
Both Knox and Vivienne sound old fashion to me. All the best to the Jolie Pitt family
Kudos to the smart cookies who looked up ownership of the domain names to verify the births.
Good night and sweet dreams to all the JP fans around the globe. Lots of celebrating this weekend.

Unless you’re living in a cave, you know that the heaves parted and Saint Angelina Jolie gave birth again. Her twin girls were born Sunday in France. Early reports say Angina and Brad Pitt named their daughters Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane. The girl’s were named after Brad and Angelina’s moms.
Details are still vague, but we’ll call ‘em out as we get ‘em.

piper, with a low, does the afp at the bottom of this page mean they are citing it as their source? i wasn’t sure.
Waiting for NE and Co. to say that BP is NOT a father, like it was with Shiloh.
Then I’ll believe!
If true, CONGRATS TO ANGIE AND THE TWINS, BP, MADD, SHI,
Z and PAX, uncle JAMES, the PITTS, and ALL THE FAMILY.
Hope Angie and the twins are well and healthy, that’s the most
important thing now.
To passing Through,
No, I was just making sure that th story of twin girls was not true…I mean, if it had been true those domain names would have been taken, right?
Piper,
AFP is Agene France Presse, the French version of the Associated press. It’s a newswire service.
7 am Sunday Paris time
OMG
I’m so happy for them
I hope that Angie is fine and so the lil babies…
They must be soooo cuuuute

Great names by the way, maybe they’re old fashioned, but not weird at all.

The most famous babies of the world were born yesterday before 8 p.m. with the Santa-Maria private clinic from the Lenval foundation. Angelina Jolie, 33 years, put at the world twins: Pretty-Pitt Knox Leon, a little boy of 2 kg 270 and Vivienne Marcheline, a little girl of 2 kg 280 who are worth already more than 11 million dollars before to have even pushed their first cry: the exclusiveness in the very first photograph of the Pitt family increased - from now on six children - was indeed sold with the profit in a humane cause by the couple with an American newspaper. It is the doctor niçois of Angelina Jolie who, yesterday in the night, confirmed information with our newspaper: “Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt feel well in Nice. And for this reason they made a point of holding for Niçois and to Niçois, by the mediation of Nice-Morning, early product of their happiness of new parents”, explained us Doctor Michel Sussmann. Whereas the media pressure had been slackened these last days around the private clinic niçoise, that, tired to make the foot of crane in vain, the paparazzi had taken a few days of rest, Angelina and its gynaecologist niçois, Doctor Michel Sussmann took everyone with opposite course. The programmed Caesarean of long time was advanced of a few days. Born little before 8 p.m. on July 12 in Nice, the twins girl-boy of Angelina and Brad Pitt go well, just like their planetary star of mom. The operation carried out by Doctor Sussmann proceeded without main issue. A twin birth as another… even if as lately as yesterday the fallacious rumour ran that Angelina, suffering of crises of diabetes, was very tired. Brad with the civil statue? Undoubtedly weary more than tired: two days before putting at the world yesterday its two babies, the Pretty young lady, exhausted by 21 days of medical reclusion in its room VIP - very important pregnant - Lenval Foundation, had convinced its nurse to go to take some steps outside, with the free air… Fault of being able to expose itself to the avid teleobjectives of the hunters of images which camped still in front of the private clinic, it is on the roof of the foundation that Angelina had gone for its walk of released woman. At once born, at once “people”, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline thus ate their white bread. For the American press, this birth glamour is… “the most important event since the man walked on the moon”. And from now on, the tracking of their “first nice smile” will be carried out without respite by the hundreds of paparazzi announced as of this morning to the foot of a Lenval foundation fatally in media state of siege. And that is likely to be only one beginning. To be planetary star, Brad, the happy dad, will not have less than another to subject to the sacro-holy republican declaration birth at the registry office… under forty eight hours. And one high risk this day to play of the elbows in principal town hall in Nice to try to see beautiful Brad to receive its family record book struck of the eagle niçois. Jean-François Roubaud
I think figured out why the other news service groups have not reported the news… all the french translators are on holidays.

# 137 translation is done by computer.
We still need someone who can read French to give it more “fluid”
Hooray!!!! Welcome to the World!!! finally the babies are here!!!!!! A boy and a girl!!!!! yipeeeee…yipeee.
I wonder if Brad and Angelina gave their permission to the doctor to spill the beans. I can’t see them saying as much as he did right off the bat. Especially the names.
nike’s translation… SAY WHAT?????
If the rumors are correct. CONGRATULATIONS!!! 5lbs is a very healthy size for twins. If her due date was indeed Aug 19th then she delivered at just 36 weeks. Which is the time frame when the lungs are developed. My son and daughter came at just under 35 weeks and were 4 lbs 11 oz and 5 lbs 6 oz. What surprises me is the C-sect. I have 4 kids and my 1st was a C and the 2nd and twins were born via VBAC. I wonder why she had to have a C again.
Les bébés les plus célèbres du monde sont nés hier avant 20 heures à la clinique Santa-Maria de la fondation Lenval. Angelina Jolie, 33 ans, a mis au monde des jumeaux : Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt, un petit garçon de 2 kg 270 et Vivienne Marcheline, une petite fille de 2 kg 280 qui valent déjà plus de 11 millions de dollars avant même d’avoir poussé leur premier cri : l’exclusivité de la toute première photo de la famille Pitt agrandie - désormais six enfants - a en effet été vendue au profit d’une cause humanitaire par le couple à un journal américain.
C’est le médecin niçois d’Angelina Jolie qui, hier dans la nuit, a confirmé l’information à notre journal : « Angelina Jolie et Brad Pitt se sentent bien à Nice. Et c’est pour cette raison qu’ils ont tenu à réserver aux Niçois et aux Niçois, par l’entremise de Nice-Matin, la primeur de leur bonheur de nouveaux parents », nous a expliqué le docteur Michel Sussmann.
Alors que la pression médiatique s’était relâchée ces derniers jours autour de la clinique niçoise, que, las de faire le pied de grue en vain, les paparazzi avaient pris quelques jours de repos, Angelina et son gynécologue niçois, le docteur Michel Sussmann ont pris tout le monde à contre-pied. La césarienne programmée de longue date a été avancée de quelques jours. Nées peu avant 20 heures le 12 juillet à Nice, les jumeaux fille-garçon d’Angelina et Brad Pitt se portent bien, tout comme leur star planétaire de maman. L’opération réalisée par le docteur Sussmann s’est déroulée sans problème majeur. Une naissance gémellaire comme une autre… même si hier encore la rumeur fallacieuse courait qu’Angelina, souffrant de crises de diabète, était très fatiguée.
Brad à l’état civil ?
Lasse sans doute plus que fatiguée : deux jours avant de mettre au monde hier ses deux bébés, la demoiselle Jolie, épuisée par 21 jours de réclusion médicale dans sa chambre VIP - very important pregnant - de la Fondation Lenval, avait convaincu son infirmière d’aller faire quelques pas dehors, à l’air libre…
Faute de pouvoir s’exposer aux téléobjectifs avides des chasseurs d’images qui campaient encore devant la clinique, c’est sur le toit de la fondation qu’Angelina avait fait sa promenade de femme libérée.
Aussitôt nées, aussitôt « people », Knox Léon et Vivienne Marcheline ont donc mangé leur pain blanc. Pour la presse américaine, cette naissance glamour est… « l’événement le plus important depuis que l’homme a marché sur la lune ».
Et désormais, la traque de leur « première risette » sera menée sans répit par les centaines de paparazzi annoncés dès ce matin au pied d’une fondation Lenval fatalement en état de siège médiatique. Et cela risque de n’être qu’un début.
Pour être star planétaire, Brad, l’heureux papa, ne devra pas moins qu’un autre se soumettre à la sacro-sainte déclaration républicaine de naissance à l’état-civil… sous quarante huit heures. Et on risque fort ce jour-là de jouer des coudes en mairie principale à Nice pour tenter d’apercevoir le beau Brad recevoir son livret de famille frappé de l’aigle niçois.
