Angelina Jolie has made a formal court request to change adopted son Pax Thien's surname to Jolie-Pitt. Angelina filed the request for her son, who is currently called Pax Thien Jolie, to take lover Brad Pitt's surname at a Santa Monica Superior Court on April 16. Angelina adopted three-year-old Pax - whose name means 'Peaceful Sky' - in March from a Vietnamese Orphanage she had visited with Brad several times before.

Vietnamese law makes it hard for unmarried couples to adopt, so the actress applied as a single parent. In January 2006, Angelina made a similar request to add Brad's name to her five-year-old Cambodian son Maddox and two-year-old Ethiopian daughter Zahara. Brad is now joint guardian to Maddox and Zahara and the couple also have an 11-month-old daughter Shiloh together.
