Documents obtained by TMZ on May 30th show that Shiloh Jolie-Pitt filed a formal request to have the "Pitt" removed from her last name amidst the ongoing legal battles between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
Shiloh is starting a new chapter in her life at the time of filing. Her request to change her name was filed on May 27, which is her actual 18th birthday and the day she became a legally recognized adult, according to the documents.
Brad and Angelina also coparent Maddox, 22, Pac, 20, and Zahara, 19, in addition to Shiloh. The twins, Vivienne and Knox, 15, are also raised by them.
Shiloh appears to be shortening her name these days, though, along with other members of the family. Just last week, a number of media sites revealed that Vivienne, who is 15 years old and produced The Outsiders, a new Broadway musical, had her name listed as "Vivienne Jolie" on the playbill.
Zahara, the eldest daughter of Angelina and Brad, has also chosen not to have her last name hyphenated. The freshman identified herself as "Zahara Marley Jolie" at the initiation ceremony of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority at Spelman College in November.
Naturally, the Jolie-Pitt family is used to the kids' antics. After all, Brad was born William Bradley Pitt but gave up his first name when he moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting, and Angelina gave up her father's surname to become Angelina Jolie.
