"Princess" in Hebrew and "Red Rose" in Persian. Baby of the Couple of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 11, 2007 -- But could even they have anticipated all the excitement the blessed event would engender, one of the most discussed and celebrated births. As the due date approached every celebrity weekly magazine had Cruise Beverly Hills mansion under surveillance, waiting for a race to the delivery room.

Adding to the mythic status was speculation that the engaged couple opted for a �silent birth� in the Scientology tradition, and that the delivery occurred just a few doors away from the maternity wing room of Brooke Shields, whose use of prescription medicine to battle an earlier post-partum depression was highly criticized by Cruise in 2005. When the bundle of joy�a 7 lb., 7 oz. baby girl�finally arrived on April 18, bloggers immediately began speculating about the real meaning of the infant�s name, Suri�which the couple's publicist explained means "princess" in Hebrew and "red rose" in Persian.

But if the arrival hadn�t generated enough hoopla, the real frenzy came which�if you asked anyone working at US Weekly and its ilk�could not come soon enough: The media embarked on an endless Suri-watch, desperate for the first glimpse at the child, and when several months passed without a sign, it was presumed that some conspiracy was causing the soon-to-be Cruises to keep the kid under wraps. Even reassurances from intimates like Jada Pinkett Smith, Leah Remini and Penelope Cruz that Suri was a beautiful, healthy child couldn�t curb the sneaking suspicion that something was wrong with her.

Finally, the couple staged a not-so-subtle coming out party when in September they revealed the first photo of their baby�and seriously, Industrial Light & Magic couldn�t have come up with a CGI creation better designed to look like a perfect genetic amalgam of Tom and Katie�on the cover of Vanity Fair, and pre-trumpeted on Katie Couric�s inaugural CBS News broadcast. Suri had at last arrived, and all was right with the world.
