Suri Cruise, Daughter of Katie and Tom, Quietly Changes Her Name

Suri Cruise recently turned eighteen and made a significant life decision. She chose to discreetly change her last name, moving away from her father’s surname, Cruise. This marks a notable step toward adulthood for Suri, the daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise.

A New Name for a New Chapter

Suri’s choice to adopt the name Suri Noelle reflects her desire to embrace her mother’s middle name, Noelle. This decision was publicly revealed during her performance in the Broadway musical “Head Over Heels,” where she played the role of Princess Philoclea.

Walking in New York City

Following the announcement of her name change, Suri was seen walking through New York City. She wore a pink blouse and white pants, and muted the city’s noise with her headphones. She seemed carefree and content with her new identity.

Birth Certificate Peculiarities

Suri’s original birth certificate lists her as Suri Cruise. Interestingly, the certificate, submitted to the Los Angeles County Clerk/Register-Recorder on May 8, 2006, 20 days after her birth, has a few peculiarities. It wasn’t signed by a parent or authorized signatory but by a “friend,” whose signature remains unreadable. Anne Heffernan, RNC, signed as the “Attendant or Certifier,” although she wasn’t present at the birth.

Protecting Suri from Scientology

Actress Leah Remini believed that Tom Cruise intended to introduce Suri to Scientology when she turned fourteen. However, Katie’s decision to leave Tom and Scientology was seen as a move to protect Suri. Leah commended Katie for prioritizing her daughter’s well-being.

Looking Forward

Former Scientology spokesman Mike Rinder stated that Suri is not and never will be a Scientologist. He emphasized that Suri deserves compassion and love. Katie Holmes continues to be a loving and supportive mother, helping Suri navigate her journey toward independence and adulthood.
