Angelina and Shiloh� in a perfume name dispute

Sure, 'Shiloh' is not the most popular baby name in the world, but does obscurity give Angelina Jolie and her daughter Shiloh blah blah blah Jolie-Pitt the right to trademark it?

Symine Salimpour certainly doesn't think so. Symine Salimpour's company Hors Lá Monde has created a perfume of the very same famous baby name. To protect her daughter's name, Jolie filed a notice of opposition with the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office.

"The notice of opposition alleges that you will be damaged by the pending trademark," says Thomas M. Wilentz, a trademark attorney in New York City. "Angelina must feel that people applying for 'Shiloh' need to get her consent."

An insider close to Salimpour says the perfume has been in development for nearly two years, so it was obviously not named after the Shiloh of Brangelina fame. "The name is completely unrelated," the insider says. "Symine is citizen of both France and Israel, but she identifies strongly with her Israeli roots - it's a spiritual thing for her. Shiloh is a Hebrew name that means 'his gift.'"

What do you think? Should celebrities be allowed to trademark their children's names?

Agree, It was a name long long before Angelina gave the name to her child.

that is really over the top vain to think she is entitled to it.

For her to want to trade mark a name is totally as far out there as you can get. Stars are given too much power. I have nothing against Angelina, she sounds like a great mother and supporter of childrens rights and a host of other things. But a persons attitude says alot more about them than they think. Slow down there Angie. Take some time to step back into the real world for a second. By the way...Shiloh is a beautiful baby.
