    BEIJING, Jan. 13 -- Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's adopted children once tried to change their names just because they are so embarrassed by their showbiz connections.

    Cruise and Kidman have found that while Isabella, 12, and nine-year-old Conor enjoy their family life at home, they're not too thrilled about their pals knowing who their parents are.

    Media has once quoted Kidman as saying: "They're embarrassed - they're very embarrassed. They actually deny us, which is okay. They tried to change their last name and they go, 'Don't come (to our school), whatever you do, don't come!'

    "I go to Conor's soccer game and Bella's there on the sidelines and she's like, 'Don't touch me!' Then I tease her and kiss her and she gets really angry.

    Anyway, she's gonna kill me because I'm not actually allowed to talk about them. So I'm in huge trouble now!"
