Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt named their baby daughter after the actress' brother James Haven Voight - he has revealed.

Haven claims he was originally given Shiloh - which means 'messiah' or 'peaceful one' - as a middle name by his and Jolie's parents Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand, before they switched it at the last minute.

The 33 year old actor tells Grazia magazine, "At the last second, my parents gave me Haven instead.

"So it was very cool when Brad and Angie came to me and said: 'We're thinking of names and our favourite is Shiloh. We know that was your original name, so would that be Ok?'.

"I was almost in tears - I was so honoured."
