Gotta name.



Katie Holmes gives birth
From correspondents in Los Angeles
April 19, 2006
HOLLYWOOD superstar Tom Cruise's fiancee Katie Holmes has given birth to the couple's first child, People magazine said today.
The baby, named Suri, weighed 3.4kg and measured 50.8cm, Cruise spokesman Arnold Robinson said to the Associated Press.

Cruise's publicist Paul Bloch could not immediately be reached for comment on the report, but People quoted two "inside sources" as confirming the new arrival.

No other details, including the baby's gender or its date of arrival were immediately available, said People, which is regularly privy to celebrity scoops related to births, marriages and divorces.

The child would be a third for Mission Impossible star Cruise, 43, who has two adopted children with his ex-wife, Australian Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman.

It was the first baby for 27-year-old Holmes.

The Cruise-Holmes baby has been eagerly anticipated by the world's media since they announced they were expecting barely six months after they began dating.

The couple, dubbed "TomKat" by the entertainment press – a combination of the first syllable of each of their first names – began dating about a year ago.

They sparked a media frenzy when they announced in June they were planning to marry and then crowned the excitement in October with their baby announcement.

I wonder if Suri stands for Surrogate, as in surrogate father?
