Angelina Jolie Twins Named Knox and Vivienne
CNN is reporting this morning that actress Angelina Jolie, 33, has given birth to twins — a boy and a girl — in Nice, France on Saturday night, July 12.
The boy is named Knox Leon, and the girl is named Vivienne Marcheline. Jolie’s mother, who diied in January, 2007, was named Marcheline.
No official word yet from the Jolie-Pitt camp as to how they came up with the names Knox Leon or Vivienne Marcheline, although rumors are floating around the internet that Knox was the middle name of Pitt’s grandfather, and that Leon is a family name on Jolie’s side.
It’s interesting that all the boys in the family now have names ending in the letter ‘x’.
The twins join a growing Jolie-Pitt family that includes Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh Nouvel, 2.

I think the baby names are lovely particularly the name Knox.
Congratulations to you both.
That was my father’s name KNOX LEON PYLE, JR. He passed away 2 months after 911. He was a great husband, father and a Marine. I must say this was a shocker to me and my mom (her name is Fredye Joe - Fred was her father’s name and Joe was her uncle who was a Senator in Louisiana)because it is such a rare name. We feel honored and wish blessings upon your two precious gifts.
