Scout Holmes Goes to the Zoo


Katie Holmes and daughter Suri were pictured earlier today (July 11) enjoying yet another 'mother/daughter' day out, this time the actress took her six year old daughter to Central Park zoo.

The pair were also joined by Katie's mother Kathleen, as they were all pictured looking happy as they watched the penguins swim around in the New York City tourist attraction.

Since the unexpected split, it looks like Katie has been doing whatever she can to take control of Suri's life and is even considering changing the six year-old's name as she attempts to cut links with her ex-hubby Tom Cruise after filing for divorce just ten days ago.

According to Now Magazine she wants to remove all influences from her daughter, who she was awarded primary custody of following the couple's divorce settlement announced on Monday (July 8) and wants to change her name from 'Suri Cruise' to 'Scout Holmes'.


An insider told the magazine: “She's been telling friends she wants to make Suri's middle name Cruise and change her surname to Holmes”

“She hates the name Suri, so she gave her a nickname from To Kill A Mockingbird,” the source added.

It's weird to actually see other children around Suri. They both look happy though. Love it.

You just can't change a name like that can you?

You can.

it is not even that complicated

I just mean Suri is 6. That's still young enough to be confused by a name change and it could be difficult for her to respond/accept Scout instead of Suri.

I thought you could just go to like city hall and fill out paperwork, kind of like when you get married

Of course you can! All you have to do is file a petition with the court. They publish your intentions to make sure you're not trying to outwit your creditors and then they say, okay, you're name is different. Then you get this little piece of paper that attaches to your birth certificate to show that you legally changed your name. :) It's no different than a woman changing her name when she gets married.

It doesn't take too much work, actually.

Some paper work, a visit to a social security office (then the DMV after you get your new card...)

the funny part is though that whatever you change your last name too is still linked to your original name. Like if your last name was Johnson and you wanted to change it to, say, Yoda, your last name in the system would forever be Yodajohnson.

Becaue of HIPAA I cannot divulge what some HORRIBLE parents did to their child, but my example is basically what happened to some poor kid IRL
