Brad Pitt: 'Shiloh Only Wants To Be Called John'

Brad Pitt recently revealed to Oprah that his 2-year-old daughter, Shiloh, has developed a small quirk - wanting to be called John instead of Shiloh!

"She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. So it's a Peter Pan thing," he says. "So we've got to call her John. 'Shi, do you want ...' – 'John. I'm John.' And then I'll say, 'John, would you like some orange juice?' And she goes, 'No!' So, you know, it's just that kind of stuff that's cute to parents, and it's probably really obnoxious to other people."

Brad also shared that juggling six kids requires careful planning and definitely seems to eliminate any hope of any quick outing,

"We don't go to the mall. It's like a half-an-hour just to get everyone buckled in and make sure they've got their snacks, and Z.Z. [Zahara, 3 1/2] has got a blanket and Shiloh's got her silky," he says.

Luckily, partner Angelina is "militant about it. She's right on top of it. Thank God, because I'm always forgetting something."

Brad also added that his kids are "the funniest people I've ever met. And you know it really tells you -- it's a great mirror for yourself. It really tells you a lot about yourself and who you are and how you react to things," he goes on. "They make me better. They make me a better person as a father."

The Oprah interview airs tomorrow, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is out Christmas day. In addition to Shiloh and Zahara, Brad is dad to Maddox, 7, Pax, 5 this month, and 4-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

My daughter went through a phase where she believed she was Dora and would not respond unless you called her Dora :) She was probably around Shiloh's age...they are so cute at that age!

My neice is a little older than Shiloh and insists that people call her Austin from her favorite show the Backyardigans. Her preschool teachers even call her Austin sometimes.

So glad to hear it's not just me, my almost 3 year old will only respond to Rexy Robot, after 2 years of pirates, now we are into robots and he is THE robot... I love that someone else's toddler is doing the same thing, it's not obnoxious, it's gorgeous!

Momma to Lilike Locke and Anjeni-Katalin said:

Locke is 2 days younger then gorgeous little Shiloh. He was born May 29th 06 shares a birthday with former president now in heaven John F Kennedy. His list of quirks is endless and constant, that I don;t even keep it up with it all. Geminis are so quirky and funny, there energy is all over the place, they are always coming up with something new to make you smile. Locke thought it was cool to go aroudn saying "Im fat Im fat" and no hes not fat jsut heard the word fat. He rocks a car to sleep while I rock his sissy Anjeni-Katalin to sleep. And he tucks his remote control car in blankets and pops the car in the baby swing, he says hello I love you to thin air and hugs thin air ROFL, he waves and says Hi Star! And he says cookie monster is mine.
