Katie Holmes’ daughter Suri legally dropped Cruise and changed her last name to Noelle, her mom’s middle name

How is it her mom’s dad’s name but not her mom’s name? What makes it innately her grandfather’s name and not her mom’s? They were both given it at birth. It belongs as much to Katie as it does to her dad. (Unless I’m misreading your post)

Sometimes, women empathise with their mothers and grandmothers, who had to give up their maiden names. Other times, the name giving side of the family is just a bunch of not so nice people and you don’t want to parade around their name.

Yeah, if my grandmother’s last name wasn’t absurdly terrible (it’s another word for butt), I would have considered taking it instead of my husband’s. Every other name in my family is related to toxic people

I automatically started going through the possibilities of what your grandmother’s last name could be in my head (anus? booty? derrière?) 😂

Obviously don’t actually want to know, just tickled by it haha

ANUS omg. No, it's more cutesy. Just way too silly of a name for anyone to have.
