Actress Katie Holmes has changed more than just her religion since she started dating Tom Cruise last year – she’s now altered her first name.
Despite her strict Catholic upbringing, the former Dawson’s Creek beauty converted to Scientology when she began her relationship with the Top Gun heart-throb, and will bring up their baby daughter Suri in the controversial religion.
After discussing the issue with Cruise, Holmes has decided her Christian name ‘Katie’ sounds too young for a 27-year-old and is now known to friends and family as ‘Kate’.
Cruise explains, “Katie is a young girl’s name.”
“Her name is Kate now she’s a child-bearing woman.”
