Keith Urban And Nicole Kidman Explains Why They Named Their Daughter Sunday

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman called their daughter Sunday to celebrate family life. The country music star and his actress wife - who gave birth to Sunday Rose last July - chose the unusual name because they "dreaded" Sundays before they married in 2006.

Keith told U.S. talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "Particularly when you don't have someone in your life, in my experience, Sunday was the loneliest day. Everyone goes with their families and if you don't have a family, you don't have anybody. It went from being sort of the most dreaded day of the week for us to being the most joyous day, because we just had a family."

Keith, 41, also confessed both he and Nicole were relieved their daughter - who was born on a Monday - didn't arrive into the world on a Sunday as they feared people would think that was why they had chosen the name.

Keith - who lives in Nashville with Australian actress Nicole - added: "Sunday is wonderful. There is not too much talking yet. Although it's her version of it, I guess."

"When she does talk I think she'll say things like 'Good day, ya'll.' She'll have a nice mix of accent."
