With many readers expressing their opinions on NICOLE KIDMAN and KEITH URBAN‘s choice of SUNDAY ROSE for their new baby girl, we spoke to LINDA ROSENKRANTZ, co-author of _The Baby Name

Bible: The Ultimate Guide By America's Baby-Naming Experts_, about the history behind day names and working with unusual surnames. A really surprising and unique choice — the name

Sunday has hardly been heard since the 1940s, when there was a soap opera called _Our Gal Sunday_.  Unlike months of the year (April, May, June) which are quite common, day names are rare,

with the exception of TUESDAY WELD and Wednesday on _The Addams Family_.  Unusual as it is, Sunday does project a nice sunny, serene image, it being the day of rest. In contrast, Nicole and

Keith did choose the middle name du jour, as Rose has replaced dated middle names like Ann and Lynn as probably the most commonly used today. There's a definite trend — particularly

among celebrities — to use both parent's surnames, asserting their equality, some of them going so far as to hyphenate them, a la Jolie-Pitt. Keith and Nicole did have a challenging

last name to work with — if they had chosen a place name like Georgia, for example, Georgia Urban might have sounded more like a bus line than a baby! Photo by Stephen Lovekin for Getty
