How Joey became Josephine.

When it comes to Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise just can’t be stopped. First, he seemed to rob her of her voice, given the girl never says a word anymore, just smiles with a vacant look in her eyes. Shortly after shutting her up, he talked her into converting from her childhood religion of Catholicism to his preferred cult Scientology. And along the way, he somehow convinced her to carry his biological child, the unfortunately named Suri who was welcomed into the world just last week. And now, after "discussing" the apparent "issue" with his fiancée, Tom has also decided it’s time to make a change to her name. No, not her last name (at least not yet), but her first. She’ll no longer be known as Katie, but rather as Kate.

"Katie is a young girl’s name. Her name is Kate now that she’s a child-bearing woman," Tom was reported saying according to a report on the SF Gate's Daily Dish (http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/indexd?blogid=7).

Interesting. I wonder if this same logic will make sense when Suri reaches the woman-ripening age of 27. If you shorten her name, she becomes Sur Cruise. And if you take the definition of the word "Sur" literally, her name would be "Over Cruise." Somehow appropriate.
