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.

Well, if she wanted to change her own name, that'd be different. Like if Katie said "Do you want to change your name? What to?"

Thats different, you're not taking something away from someone who's voluntarily giving it up, still with a 6 year old I'm not sure I would make a change like that legally permanent. I would legally add the name, let them go by it and later if they want to completely drop the old name that's fine but small kids don't completely understand things like this or the finality of it.

I think it's different too to call a child what they want to be called VS what you would rather theyd been named, the former is supportive, the latter is rejective which kids don't need. But it's all just my opinion so who knows?
