No offense to Tom and Katie, but ...
Maybe it's better for them -- and especially for their little girl -- if they simply keep a low profile, let their respective families enjoy this new "addition", and not try too hard to come up with some fancy, foreign-language name that they seem to feel they must announce to the media as if it were the name of a new-born princess.
Sometimes, it's better to name your child in a language you do understand, instead of trying to use "unusual" names then end up making a humungous mistake and saddling your poor baby with the most inappropriate name! Whatever happened to naming your child with such beautiful, classic names as Catherine, or Alexandra, or Christina, or Elizabeth, all of which have really beautiful meanings, and all of which were the names of some of the most famous queens and empresses in history? Or they could use the lovely Biblical names, which are also Hebraic in origin: Ruth, Naomi, Hannah, Judith -- and yes, the best of them all, Mary.
There's been entirely too much publicity on this relationship, and on this little one -- call me cynical, but sometimes, I wonder if this is Tom's indirect way of ensuring publicity for his films. Is it just a coincidence that MI-III is going to be released soon?
If he really loves his new daughter, he should also know that far more than anything else, the little one deserves to grow up in the warmth of her parents' love, and not in the glare of the spotlight.
HA! This is hilarious. Or would be, if it weren't that this pertains to an actual child, albeit one born to surreal adults.
I must say I rather like the sound of the name "Suri", but lament the trend (certainly not restricted to the famous) of people giving their offspring obscure or made-up names. As a result, a name like "Mary" seems truly exotic these days!
"Suri" ("get out of here").
Despite Tom's insistence on total silence during labor, Katie, in pain, shouted at the baby "Get out of here!".
When Tom attempted to quiet her down, she shouted "Get out of here!" at him too.
There was another celebrity that named their kid "Apple", and then the younger brother "Moses". I can't remember which couple though.
And the Scourge of Believers, Penn Jillette, named his baby daughter Moxie Crimefighter last year. His wife is expecting a boy shortly, and I think the name is going to be Zoltan. I thought maybe it was in honour of Zoltan Kodaly, but I think his wife's family is Hungarian, and it's a family name.
Andrew, I believe that was Gwyneth Paltrow. I think her husband is a member of Coldplay, but I could be wrong.
Yeah that's them Laura! Apple....
OK -no one else has said it so I guess I will. TomKat's baby named "get out of here" = Scat!
Tom and Katie have picked a first lullaby ... it will be Michael Jackson's "Beat It".
As the daughter of Tom Cruise, this kid will grow up as the poster child for Scientology; her father being totally brain washed and her mother a meek and submissive zombie who sold her soul to the cult. Having a wacky name will be the least of this little girl's problems. And since her father can't ever remain faithful to the women in his life, you just know he'll eventually move on to someone new. You can almost map out this kid's future, just like so many other Hollywood offspring, it doesn't look pretty.
