After several of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/story\/pax-jolie-pitt-is-the-last-of-the-clan-to-keep-his-dads-last-name\" class=\"text link\">Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt\u2019s children<\/a> turned 18 and dropped Pitt from their names in favor of solely using their mother\u2019s last name, another Hollywood child has made a similar decision.<\/p>\n<p>Suri, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.vanityfair.com\/article\/20061001172\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">the only child of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes<\/a>, has reportedly changed her name to Suri Noelle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><em>Page Six<\/em> was the first to report that Suri\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/story\/suri-cruise-life-away-from-spotlight\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">now a student at Carnegie Mellon<\/a> in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania\u2014has registered to vote in Allegheny County under the name Suri Noelle. According to the outlet, the change likely took place in 2024, during her freshman year of college.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><em>Page Six<\/em> also reports that Suri did not file an application to change her last name in Allegheny County, leading to speculation that she did so in New York, where she lived before starting college and where name-change requests are typically sealed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Noelle is Katie Holmes\u2019s middle name. The decision to adopt it in the place of Cruise\u2019s surname might suggest a desire to honor her mother. Holmes primarily raised Suri and has always been present during the most important moments of her daughter\u2019s life, such as when she got her college acceptance, for which the <em>Dawson\u2019s Creek<\/em> alum expressed great pride. \u201cOf course, I will miss the close proximity, but I\u2019m really proud of her, and I\u2019m happy,\u201d Holmes told <em>Town &amp; Country<\/em> in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">As for her father, Suri reportedly has had no contact with Cruise in over 10 years. Holmes and Cruise were married in November 2006, seven months after their only child was born in April of the same year. For a time, the three appeared to be a close-knit unit, often captured by the paparazzi in moments of harmony. However, their marriage didn\u2019t last. The couple divorced in 2012.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Holmes was awarded <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/katie-holmes-gets-primary-custody-of-daughter-suri-in-divorce-from-tom-cruise-201297\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/katie-holmes-gets-primary-custody-of-daughter-suri-in-divorce-from-tom-cruise-201297\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/katie-holmes-gets-primary-custody-of-daughter-suri-in-divorce-from-tom-cruise-201297\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">primary legal custody<\/a> of her daughter, and Cruise <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.thelist.com\/1618356\/suri-cruise-life-milestones-dad-tom-cruise-missed\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.thelist.com\/1618356\/suri-cruise-life-milestones-dad-tom-cruise-missed\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thelist.com\/1618356\/suri-cruise-life-milestones-dad-tom-cruise-missed\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly<\/a> has not been seen with Suri since shortly after the divorce.

It is also the name that appears on the playbill for <em>Midsummer!<\/em>, a modern adaptation of William Shakespeare\u2019s <em>A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream,<\/em> in which she is currently performing alongside other college students at the Peirce Studio of the Trust Arts Education Center in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The most widely speculated theory had been that it was a stage name, intended to protect her privacy and allow her to form her own identity. However, it now seems the change is a permanent one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><em>Originally published in<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.it\/article\/suri-cruise-rinuncia-cognome-paterno-suri-noelle-tom-cruise-katie-holmes\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">Vanity Fair Italia.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fathers\u2019 last names in Hollywood seem to be becoming quite a burden.
