The word is out that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are planning on adopting a Vietnamese boy, a process that should be completed in a few months.

The adoptee, who will likely be three or four years old, will join siblings Maddox, Zahara, and of course Shiloh, in the Jolie-Pitt household.

And, according to sources close to the pair, this latest adoption may not be the last, as Angelina Jolie vies to become the new Mia Farrow.

The big question, of course, is what will the little boy’s name be? Will he come with one ready-made, or can we all spend the next three months speculating? Heck, let’s speculate!

Jolie named her first daughter Zahara, an Arabic name meaning “bright,” which is in keeping with her daughter’s Ethiopian heritage. But she named her Cambodian-born son Maddox, which is a Welsh name, probably meaning “fortunate,” and while Maddox Jolie-Pitt certainly is fortunate, he is not Welsh. Shiloh, by contrast, is a Hebrew name.

So far, then, we’ve got Arabic, Hebrew, and Welsh names. If they are striving for a balance in their family, and the Arabic name balances the Hebrew name, what would balance a Welsh name? Irish of course! It’s a foregone conclusion. I believe Pitt and Jolie will choose an Irish name for their newest child.

I’m not a gambler by nature, but I’m going to go out on a limb on this one. I think they will name him Patrick. It just sounds right. Plus, it will be easier for Jon Voight to remember.

Save to del.icio.us
