She has chosen to go by Suri Noelle, adopting her mother’s middle name, Kate Noelle Holmes, and dropping her father’s last name. This decision was made public during her performance in the New York musical “Head Over Heels,” where she was credited under her new name.
Suri’s choice reflects her independence and transition into adulthood.
In New York City, Suri was spotted confidently walking with headphones, symbolizing her newfound autonomy.
This name change diverges from her birth certificate, which originally listed her as Suri Cruise, filed 20 days after her birth on April 18, 2006.
Scientology researcher Tony Ortega noted that Suri’s name change might grant her more freedom to speak openly, particularly about personal matters like her relationship with her father, which has been strained and marked by long separations for years.
As Suri grows older, she has the opportunity to carve her own path, with the support of her mother, Katie, who has always prioritized her daughter’s well-being.
