no, its not Irish/Gaelic. Its from the Holy land...

I personally like the sound of the word "Shiloh" sounds melodic to me.
same thing with "Moriah". when I named my oldest girl Moriah, 27 years ago, no one had ever heard of it. Then in the mid to late 80's Mariah Carey came on the scene, and ruined THAT for me too! I was trying to give my girls unusual names, but when people heard them (like Shiloh's pediatrician's Nurse) they said "Im going to name MY kid that!!"" so, there goes the uniqueness...
oh well

My son is Brendan Reilly. I picked an IRISH name for him LOL!

I had a list of Irish boys' names: Liam, Padraic, Brendan, Kevin, Connor, etc...and I liked Brendan best. Then for a middle name, he is named after my best bud. Cant top that I guess!

Who is Brangelina? Is she one of the Bond villainesses?

It's just one chilling neologism to indicate the rich, famous and moderately talented couple formed by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Why do famous people have to give their children bizarre names? It's so backward. I'm developing such a dislike for people like that.

I think Shiloh is a beautiful name, and to me sounds more feminine than masculine. And it's waaaaay better than a lot of those other celeb baby names:

- Apple and Moses
- Pilot Inspektor
- Bluebell Madonna
- Moxy Crimefighter

Hate to be a wet blanket, but whatever happened to names like Michael or Laura?

Ive seen material where Jesus is referred to as "Shiloh" but Im with you, Rachel: I think it sounds more feminine than masculine.

well in the one I found its either:

Name: Shilo

Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: The one to whom it belongs. In the bible Shiloh is a prophetic name for the Messiah; Also Shiloh is significant
as the site of a crucial battle in the American Civil War.


Name: Shiloh

Origin: Biblical

Meaning: Peace, abundance (name of a city).

Gender:Female



here is another site that says its either (note the little boy/girl icons):

As a matter of absolute rubbishy trivia, Don Henleys first band was called (guess what?) Shiloh!

OK, given that 'Nouvel' is the French masculine word for 'New', are we led to believe that Shiloh Nouvel is a rather masculine way of declaring that your baby daughter is the New Messiah? If so, then these people should be certified

Isn't it similar to a Muslim naming their child Muhammed? Shiloh is a pretty name. I can't believe I'm writing in this thread because I don't really care about them. But on some level I must be curious cuz I'm here. This is just another case of celebrity elevating the importance of something. In this case the birth of a child, which is world news these days for some reason.

I hope Jen couldn't give a **** less and that she's happy.

Barely. But do you really think people will make fun of The Holy Child in any large quantity? It's not like she's going to be ugly, or have weird clothes, or be poor, she probably won't be dumb.
But maybe if she goes to a rich kid school, or a foreign "she's just like anyone else" school, it could happen.

I wonder if the next one will be named Travelodge Ancien.

This was one I was waiting for. I just knew they'd saddle that kid with a f*cked up look-at-me-I-am-so-unique name.
