The Tomkitten has arrived.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the high-profile pair dubbed "TomKat" by the media, had a baby girl Tuesday, said Cruise spokesman Arnold Robinson. The baby, named Suri, weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 20 inches long, he said.

"Both mother and daughter are doing well," Robinson said in a prepared statement.

The name Suri has its origins in Hebrew, meaning "princess," or in Persian, meaning "red rose," the statement said.

The baby was born in Los Angeles but the exact location was not disclosed.

It's the first child for Holmes, 27. Cruise, 43, has an adopted daughter and son from his marriage to
Nicole Kidman.

Details surrounding the birth, which was planned under the tenets of the Church of Scientology as a silent procedure, weren't disclosed.

Outside the Beverly Hills home where Cruise and Holmes live, about a dozen reporters and photographers stood by. Security officers inside the compound videotaped the journalists.

A security guard at the gate refused to release any information. A few cars did arrive and were allowed into the estate. A police motorcycle officer stopped by around 4 p.m. and sat watching the goings-on.

The patrolman, who identified himself as Officer Chase, said he was just making a routine check, since activity around the area had been heightened for some time. He asked if the baby had been born, was told yes, and drove off.

Raph's Girl note: Suri? Not exactly what one would consider a normal name but it is pretty all the same.

OMG that's nasty.......

I wonder if she was successful at the quiet/silent birth with no drugs or whatnot. That was kinda a big baby for no noise...or whimpers...or whatever she was allowed to do.

I plan to scream and yell alot when I have a baby...oh, and drugs...lots of good old fashioned drugs to take the edge off

From my understanding from Kelly Preston (John Travolta's wife) they CAN scream a bit and in extreme cases have an epidural. But otherwise nobody else is alowed to say a word.

He should've named it 'Lestat.'

Or 'Claudia.'

*Mars-Chan* · 04-19-2006, 05:28 PM

OMG, Ben-San...that was bad.....

*XERO* · 04-19-2006, 06:48 PM

It's a Nubian tribe, the word for "rose" in Persian, the "sun" in Sanskrit and, oh yes, it's also an obscure variation on the Hebrew name Sarah and refers to form of an Alpaca's wool.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may have gotten more than they bargained for naming their daughter Suri when she was born on Tuesday, according to language expert Paul JJ Payack, head of the Global Language Monitor, a group that studies word use.

Payack said he found at least five meanings for Suri, including the name of a Nubian tribe on the Sudanese-Ethopian border. The tribe is known for the ceremonial clay plate inserted into the lower lip of Suri girls after their lower teeth have been extracted.

Suri also refers to the sun in Sanskrit, an ancient Indo-European language in which the word's meaning sometimes is translated as "lord" or "ruler."

Moreover, Suri is the name for the wool of the Andean Alpaca.

In Persian, it means rose, though not necessarily a red rose, as Cruise and Holmes said through their spokesman when the birth was announced.

Payack said Suri was also a relatively rare variation of the biblical name Sarah, which means "lady" or "princess."

Combined with the child's last name, which in English means to move or go along, especially in an unhurried or unconcerned fashion, Payack added that Suri Cruise could translate to: "The ruling Nubian sun princess unhurriedly moving along wearing a rose-colored blanket."

Raph's Girl note:
Person one: "What's her name?"
Person two: "Suri.."
Person one: "Her name is wool?"
Person three: "No...she was named after that one tribe where they have funky lips and their women are always shown on tv naked..."

Humor me if you will...

Why should anyone give a flying rat's ass about celebrities having kids? Honestly.

*KROW* · 04-22-2006, 07:12 PM

No one should. I blame VH-1.

Pff, VH-1. Should change it's name to PopTV or something. The only time they play videos is at the crack of frickin' dawn.

*XERO* · 04-22-2006, 08:22 PM

Nah, they should change it to 'Top 400,000 Excuses For Having A Music Channel And Not Actually Show Music.'

Well, there are two things wrong with that.

1. It's too long.
2. That should really belong to MTV.

*Hannah* · 04-23-2006, 10:01 PM

Man, I hate Tom Cruise.

And his cult.
