Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt<\/a>\u2019s youngest daughter, Vivienne, has legally filed a petition at the Los Angeles County Superior Court to drop \u2018Pitt\u2019 from her name. A week after turning 18, she followed her siblings’ steps. As unconventional as it may seem, Hollywood is renowned for adapting new stage names and ditching surnames. Over the years, many media personalities have changed their legal names for interesting personal reasons. From Nicolas Cage<\/a> to Suri Noelle, here\u2019s a closer look at Hollywood celebrities and star kids changing their names. <\/p>\n

Shiloh Jolie<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Shiloh Jolie, a dancer and the former couple\u2019s first biological child, filed to change her legal name in 2024, a day after she turned 18, per The Independent. The movement was followed by her three siblings, who have individually filed petitions. Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt, the youngest daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, filed the petition citing \u2018personal\u2019 reasons. The hearing is scheduled for November 2, 2026. Before Vivienne, her siblings Maddox and Zahara posted a public notice under California Law to remove \u2018Pitt\u2019 from their names.<\/p>\n

Nicolas Cage<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Nicolas Cage, whose legal name was Nicolas Coppola, recently changed his legal name to what he was famously known as in 2025. \u201cI am Nick Cage. I changed my name legally last year,\u201d he said in the Variety interview, before adding, \u201cI\u2019m Nick Cage in life, and I\u2019m Nick Cage on camera. \u2018Tis better to be the patriarch of my own little family than the clown cousin on the margins of someone else\u2019s, so I decided I\u2019m going to bring it on and be \u2018Cage.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

Suri Noelle<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Suri Noelle, the daughter of Tom Cruise<\/a> and Katie Holmes, was known as Suri Cruise for a long time. However, she used the new name at her high school graduation in New York City, per Page Six. \u2018Noelle\u2019 came from her mother\u2019s middle name. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes filed for divorce in 2012, and settled five weeks later. The reports suggest that the actor has been estranged from Suri. <\/p>\n

Angelina Jolie<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Angelina Jolie\u2019s kids followed in her steps of changing names. In 2002, the actress changed her name from Angelina Jolie Voight by removing her father\u2019s surname. \u201cI did not want to be Voight, as an actress, because people would react to the name,\u201d Jolie said to The Sun in 2011, before adding, \u201cDad always used to apologise, when I was young, for the fact that articles described me as \u2018Jon Voight\u2019s daughter.\u2019\u201d As for her children changing their names, Jolie has not shared any comment publicly. <\/div>\n
