These celebrity kids are cruising into a new chapter of life. 

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's daughter Suri Cruise recently revealed she's going by a new name, dropping her dad's stage name and instead using Suri Noelle (an homage to her mom's middle name) at her high school graduation last month. 

And the 18-year-old is not the only one to make a change to her surname after reaching adulthood.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt filed to legally drop her dad's last name on her 18th birthday in May, requesting to go by Shiloh Jolie moving forward. Likewise, her sister Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 15, opted to go by Vivienne Jolie in the playbill of The Outsiders musical she worked on earlier this year. 

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's daughter Malia Obama made a similar move last year when she distanced herself from her family name for a project, choosing to call herself Malia Ann in the credits of her film The Heart.

And Rob Schneider's daughter Tanner Elle Schneider—who you'll know as country singer Elle King—understands that motivation all too well. 

"I wanted to be myself," Elle told ABC News in 2015 of her decision to give herself a new moniker. "I am my own person."

"It’s not that I wanted to be a famous person. I wanted to be a performer," she continued. "But I worked really hard and I did everything myself."

Meanwhile, other legacy performers are dropping both their middle and surnames, creating succinct one-word stage names. Read on to see more celebrities' kids who ditched their famous monikers.
