The daughter ofTom CruiseandKatie Holmes, formerly known asSuri Cruise, opted for a name change as part of a move to carve out her own identity.
The change signifies the teenager’s desire to honor her mother and step out of her famous father’s shadow, a source claimed.

Now, the 18-year-old child of the two high-profile celebrities “wants her own identity,” the source said.
She is expected to joinCarnegie Mellon Universitysoon and wants to “start fresh at college,” hoping her new name will help her “avoid the paparazzi,” added the insider.
Earlier this month, the teenager proudly graduated as Suri Noelle from the prestigious Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, colloquially known as the “Fame School.” TheWonder Boysactress proudly watched her daughter graduate whileTom was attending a Taylor Swift concertin London.

Her graduation wasn’t her first public use of the name; she had previously been listed as Suri Noelle in the playbill for her high school’s December performance ofThe Addams Family: A New Musical, in which she starred as Morticia Addams.
It’s still unclear whether Suri has legallychanged her name, but the significance of the gesture is evident. Her choice underscores her connection to her mother, who has been her primary caregiver since Katie’s highly publicizeddivorcefrom theMission Impossiblestar.
“Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer,” a source said
Theyoungster turned 18years old in April this year, officially severing all ties she had on paper with her estranged father. The actor will no longer have to part ways with money in the name of child support, which reportedly came up to $400,000 a year, according to theDaily Mail.
Insiders claim the teenager has no interest in having any kind of relationship with her father.
“Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer,” a source told the outlet. “He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything.”Aivaras Kaziukonis
