It's grown on me a bit, and I can't stand Tom Cruise, but that baby is gorgeous. :b I still find it funny that they claimed it meant "princess" in Hebrew, and the people of Israel said, 'um, no' and that it's also a type of llama, I think. :-/ I personally wouldn't use it, and I definitely think anyone else should give it a lot of thought because it's an unheard of name except for baby Cruise so there will likely always be that association. If you can handle that, or if you're a huge fan (which would be weird actually...), then go for it.

Thanx Everyone!!!! I think Surya is pretty.

Yes it's usable, remember celebrities do not "own" the names, they are humans just like us, but with better paying jobs [LOL]. I do think of Suri Cruise, but it's not a 'bad' thing. I happen to like Suri, and I got it of the movie Dinosaur, and I liked it before Suri Cruise came along, but that fact is they beat me to it that's all, but it wouldn't stop me from using it. I say if you like it go for it!

Suri is a sweet name. Whether inspired by TomKat or not, if used on a child now the connection would be widely assumed, I'm afraid.

I'd use it maybe as a nickname for Surya, which is a masculine name according to this site, but is one of my feminine favorites thanks to the lovely and talented Surya Bonaly.

I think it's definately too TomKat, but I agree with you and am glad you said it. I really like this name. Surrey, as in the city in the UK, is my favorite form, as it looks different. Even then, I think people would still misspell her name since it sounds like Suri. I pretty much think it's unusable, which is too bad, because I like it very much.

yes very TomKat. Too much so for me. If I met a little girl named Suri I would immediately associate her with Tom Cruise which is not something I'd want for any child, especially mine.

The meaning is pretty, so maybe for a mn. I don't particularly like it that much to begin with so I'd never use it.

I really like the name Suri, however I wouldn't use it because I think it's too TomKat. I prefer Siri, which is actually a name of a star wars character as well.

It is very TomKat to me because no one was really using it until them. If it were an established name prior to their baby, I wouldn't think that, but since they're the first time I'm hearing it, they're the immediate association. I wouldn't use it because of that.

I'm not overly fond of it anyway. It's not ugly, but there are nice names out there.

I think it's beautiful, although no immediate combos come to mind.
