Suri Cruise, daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, quietly changed her name upon turning 18. Renouncing her father’s last name, she now goes by Suri Noelle, adopting her mother’s middle name, Kate Noelle Holmes.
Her decision became public during her performance in the New York musical “Head Over Heels,” where she was listed under her new name. Suri’s choice signifies her independence and a step towards adulthood.
In New York City, Suri was seen confidently strolling with headphones, symbolizing her newfound autonomy. The name change diverges from her birth certificate, which listed her as Suri Cruise, filed 20 days after her birth on April 18, 2006.
Scientology researcher Tony Ortega remarked, “Suri will now be free to talk if she wants to,” highlighting her ability to discuss personal matters likе her relationship with her father. This strained relationship, marked by long separations, has been public knowledge for years.
MEGHAN MARKLE’S ORCHARD NAME DRAMA: MAJOR REBRANDING DECISION AFTER CLASH
Meghan Markle is thinking about a new name for her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard (ARO), in case her current name doesn’t get approved, according to a source.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently rejected her application to use the ARO name, which has caused some confusion for her team.
The source mentioned that Meghan’s team might need to find a backup name, similar to what Kim Kardashian did when she had to change her shapewear brand name from Kimono to Skims due to cultural issues.
“The team is working on alternative names just in case,” the source said. “They’re a bit stressed but not too worried because Kim Kardashian also had to rebrand and it turned out fine.”
Changing the name now would be expensive because of all the branding work already done, but it’s not considered a disaster.
In March, Meghan Markle introduced her new lifestyle brand on social media and had filed for a trademark for the name American Riviera Orchard in February.
Her company aims to sell various home goods like cookbooks and tableware, as well as food and drink products such as jams and vegetable spreads. They are also considering adding a rose wine to their product line.
However, the trademark application was recently rejected. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) said that “American Riviera” is a common nickname for the Santa Barbara, California area, which makes the name too generic and hard to trademark. The USPTO’s decision was announced on August 31.
The American Riviera refers to the California area, including Montecito, where Meghan Markle lives with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie, who is five, and Princess Lilibet, who is three.
Another source mentioned that trademark disputes are common in the U.S. and can usually be resolved. “It looks like American Riviera Orchard has received a few routine office actions, which is normal when filing for trademarks,” the source said.
The Sussexes have not yet commented on the situation.
