Why Sunday?

nicolekeith.jpg

Finally!

The reason(s) why Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban named their bundle of joy Sunday Rose Roast….

Grandpa Kidman told the Australian media that Sunday was the name of Australian artist Sidney Nolan's muse.

Gramps revealed he and Grandma Kidman had suggested it to Keith and Nic. He says, "I have read a bit about Sunday Reed and her husband John - she was a key mover and shaker in the arts around the beginning of the century. The name Sunday struck me as being a nice name for a woman, so my wife and I mentioned it."

The source goes on to report that Sunday Reed was famous for her patronage of the arts, but also for her relationship with Sidney Nolan. Reed and her husband took part in a menage-a-trois type affair with the artist, which lasted nine years in the 1930s and resulted in Sunday becoming Nolan's muse.

Will little Sunday Rose Kidman Urban 'inspire' future artists in the same way?

We kid.

Urban's brother Shane revealed the baby's second name was a tribute to their late grandmother, Rose.

"It's a wonderful wonderful thing, I'm so, so proud," he said.

As for Roast, Perez says, "Sunday is my cheat day where I can eat whatever I want, and a roast sounds yummy this week. So, Sunday Roast Kidman Urban Cruise it is!"

      Sunday Rose is not that bad of a name.

      Now names like …
      Reignbeau,
      Moxie CrimeFighter,
      Alcamy ,
      Banjo,
      Fifi Trixibelle
      Little Pixie

      …are completely retarded names. I feel many celebrities who name their kids these shitty names are on drugs.

You are a toxic person. After some time, I did come back and try to view you with a fresh outlook, but all i could feel was ick! I challenge anyone to stay away for even a week and see how you feel . This site is TOXIC and you will feel so much better if you break the habit.

      What the hell Perez - The "Cruise" comment is so uncalled for. And mocking the name is uncalled for also, especially Rose because she is named after Keith's grandmother who passed away and whom he was very close to. Seriously, if Brangelina were to name her twins Ding and Dong, I'm sure you would eat that shit up.
      Stop playing favourites!

      Why do these retarded celebrities insist on give their children idiotic names??? Are they just too narcissistic to realize that stupid names like "Sunday" and "Apple" and "Moonbeam" cause these poor kids enormous hardship and do major psychological damage? These drug-addict parents are highly amused by these exotic names even congratulating themselves for being so creative while six, seven, eight years later in school the kids are teased relentlessly because of their unorthodox names. This leads to low self esteem and self abuse. Everybody knows this except these no IQ celebrities. Would it have been so boring to call the kid "Amy" or "Christy"???? I've lost every bit of respect for these jackasses. The poor kid should be taken from them and given a normal name and a normal life.

      Actually, people have been named Apple for a long time–Alma is the Hungarian word for Apple. There are a bunch of old ninnies at the retirement home named the Hungarian word for "Apple"–I think it was a pretty popular name in the 1940's.

      148

      Perez what is the point of saying something like that? You never referred to Suri Cruise as Kidman Cruise so why would you disrespect a couple and a little baby by referring to the mother's first husband and inferring he somehow 'assisted' biologically with Sunday Rose Kidman Urban? I hope Nicole or her Manager is alerted to your comment and sue you for defamation of character. This is not freedom of speech but defaming a married couple and their newborn babe. As for the knockers on here who keep saying Nicole must be such a bad mother because she never see's her other 2 children you should pull your head's in. When Nicole and Tom 1st separated the kids were mainly with Nicole and photographed constantly. When she met Keith and he relapsed Tom tried to get him to use the Scientology detox program and after their refusal contact with Bella and Connor was kept to a minimum by Tom as Keith was not 'clean' from his demons. Nicole has in interviews such as OK, alluded to slipping personal info on Tom and her marriage and then presto she get's to see the kids to stop supposed leaks against Tom. Tom is the problem here not Nicole and to even link him with Nicole and Keith's baby is just plain sick on your part.

    53. 153

      I thought she was called Sunday because it was the day of the Lord…so it's an encoded message to Bishop Tom Cruise of the Scientology Church! (don't mean to be blasphemous at all with this, it's just an appreciation)

      You guys are way overreacting about the name thing. Names like Sunday, Apple, Suri, Shiloh, etc. aren't that bad.

      Some people don't want their kids being in a class with 5 other kids who have the same name. Doesn't mean they think they're something special, and i highly doubt it will cause psychological trauma. I'm sure you all know somebody with an untraditional name. Do they have trauma?

      Me thinks "Urban Sunday Rose" would have been a much better name.

      On a separate note: Nicole strikes me as the type of person that would make her hubby (Keith) wear a surgical mask and gown before getting their their freak on…She comes off as so "perfect"…to the point where she doesn't even look like a "real" person. I give their marriage two more years - tops.

You only saw her three times throughout the whole this, and in the pics during her "1st and 2cd trimesters" there was no bump at all, then at the CMA's there was a little something but she was wearin a huge, billowy dress. What gives?
      P.S. If she really was pregnant, is anyone foolish enough to believe taht thsi ice pricess would give birth naturally? I don't think so.

      Re: zd – Ummm we claim Keith as our own but he is a Kiwi and Nicole was actually born in Hawaii. As for not being born in Australia - the media harassed both Nicole and Keith they had to leave. Originally it appeared Nicole would give birth in Sydney at the same hospital where her sister gave birth 4 times, however journalists wrecked that plan with attempting to get hold of medical files, staff leaks and room locations that could possibly help them get first pictures. Us bloddy aussies have terrible snooping journalists that tend to pverstep the mark such as leaving tiny cameras around in hidden places - isn't that right J???? I know you are reading this J…….so thanks for 'stalking' our celebrities really makes them want to stay in Australia when they are so safe and allowed to live in privacy.

      I just read that the bitch is already handing the kid over to her mother (and then a nanny) so that she can go off and ruin a few more good movies, that then nobodys gonna wanna watch. She's already got 2 films lined up - one shooting in 8 weeks time! For years and years she dined out on all that shit about wanting a kid so badly and then she gets one, for what? So that it can be raised by a nanny while Nicole continues with her lousy accents and wooden bad-acting… What a crock of shit! Should have just called the poor baby, 'Publicity plan No. 897'

      Re: March – Hmmm so in your eyes father's are allowed to go to work but mother's must look after their kids, stay home and never work. What planet did you come you as you seriously need a reality check. Does that mean that all working mothers who return to work and have family or nanny's or child care for their children are just bitches? It doesn't matter if a person supposedly has 'money' , some women in order to keep their career's going have to return to work. This can range from women who are lawyers, Doctors, Nurses, Waitresses, Shop Assistants and of course Actresses. Studies have proven that working mothers do not emotionally affect a child. I am sure that between Nicole and Keith they will ensure like most loving couples that their child's needs will be attended to.
