Jamie Oliver gets Shiloh Pitt's name really wrong

I have to sympathize with this guy. I have a cousin name Shelley who married a Kevin and my tongue always says Shevin and Kelly and I have NO idea why. It just happens!!!

I'm always messing up names around here. Dog, Kodi, kids, Samantha and Skylar. I tend to say Skammi and Skodi a lot. Put 3 cats in the mix, I'm surprised anyone knows their real names at all.

That's hilarious! We used to mix up the name of a restaurant called Boar's Head and call it Whore's Bed....

For what it's worth, this sort of mistake is a typical one in linguistics terms. If it was a mistake.

Sorry, but I think it's funny. If it was my kid or even me, and it was a true mistake, I'd think it was hysterical.

If Angelina's mad, maybe it's because she should have thought of this when naming her kid.

I know we're all supposed to be nice, but has the world gotten to a point where we can't laugh when someone makes a mistake?

And now the kid is ready for school! The 5th graders will have a field day with Shiloh!

I really don't think Jamie Oliver would call a kid that on purpose. He has two little girls and really cares about kids. (Just look at the work he has done here across the UK with healthy meals for the schools, and before that the cooking school and restaurant "15" he set up for unemployed young people to work in. He spends a lot of his life, and his money, helping others.) I bet he was absolutely mortified and felt terrible.

But Sandy - it IS kind of funny. I giggled a little (in an "The Office" or "Curb Your Enthusiasm" slightly uncomfortable way) when I heard this. Talk about a bad name for the playground!

I mean, it wouldn't be funny if he was trying to be offensive. But he's a heart on his sleeve kind of guy, who is lovely with his two little daughters, and he has no history of being offensive, so I choose to believe he was not trying to be.

Are you a little worried Angelina is going to read this and want to make sure you won't feel her wrath too? ;)

I don't believe this story at all! Why would he even say her last name? When talking to someone on the phone would you say how is Shiloh Pitt doing or would you ask how Shiloh is doing? Her name isn't even Shiloh Pitt, it's Shiloh Jolie Pitt, I think this story was made up by the tabloid.

I think Ms. Maple needs to lighten up and stop telling me what I'm allowed to find funny.

@ ninainindia
You might be right, but it's also pretty common for people to just assume a child's last name is the same as the father's.

Even if this isn't true, it's unfortunate for that child because SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE down the line is going to mix up her name too. But, sorry, it did make me laugh.

That "spoonerism" was all over the net when little Shiloh was first born.

I do think in this case it was a mistake. Certainly my tongue becomes tangled all the time.

I once called Steve Link, Leave Stink, and 20 years later he still hears it from people angry with him. Sorry Dude

I think it's a made up story, simply because it sound ridiculous! Can't you guys find REAL stories anymore? You print nothing but crap anymore! What ever happened to REAL journalism?

Reply

Sounds pretty bogus to me -- I find this VERY hard to believe....

As I read most of you folks are shi@heads. Simpletons always laugh at some lame making fun of another. PLEASE DON'T VOTE.

Does she really care what anyone calls her, you don't see many photos of her playing mommy to Shilo?
Just the same I do it with my kids, dog, all the time.

Like Angelina really cares, you never see her holding the baby, only her adopted ones. Brad is the one that is always seen with her. She probably can't remember the baby's name either.
