Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban welcome daughter Sunday Rose

Actress Nicole Kidman and country star Keith Urban, 40, are "delighted" to announce that they have welcomed their first child together, a daughter. Sunday Rose Kidman Urban arrived in Nashville, TN earlier this morning, Monday, July 7th, weighing in at 6 lbs, 7.5 oz. Nicole gave birth naturally, without an induction. Keith writes on his website:

Earlier this morning Nic gave birth to our beautiful baby girl, SundayRose Kidman Urban. We want to thank everybody that has kept us in theirthoughts and prayers. We feel very blessed and grateful that we canshare this joy with all of you today.

In addition, the couple exclusively told People.com,

We feel immensely blessed and grateful to be given this beautiful baby girl. She’s an absolute delight.

Sunday joins older siblings Isabella Jane, 15, and Connor Antony, 13, Nicole’s children with Tom Cruise.

The couple announced the pregnancy in January. In February, Nicole, 41, admitted, "I know [the sex of the baby], but I’m not sharing." In April came the admission that the first trimester was full of "severe morning sickness." Most recently, Nicole posed for the July issue of Vogue.

Congrats Connor and Isabella on your baby sister! I was expecting Camila Alves and Angelina Jolie to give birth before her but i’m happy bc this has been nicoles dream for a long long time.

MB on July 7th, 2008

I guess she *was* very very very very pregnant LOL. Can’t wait to hear the baby’s name! I was totally thinking boy for them. Congrats to the whole family!

Randi on July 7th, 2008

Congrats!!!! You can see the little girls name on Urbans fan website I am not going to say what it is only because they may not be telling the media outlets yet. So go check it out yourself if your interested. I’m sure she is going to be one beautiful little girl. It’s so great to hear that she was born in Nashville.

Jessica on July 7th, 2008

they named her Sunday Rose, according to keithurban.net
Congrats to them!!

Lissette on July 7th, 2008

I was surprised to hear it’s a girl! For some reason, I thought she would be having a boy. Congrats to them! Cant wait to hear what they’ve named her!

Erin on July 7th, 2008

Her name is Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, according to CNN Headline News

Janna on July 7th, 2008

They have names her Sunday Rose Kidman Urban…
I found this information on keithurban.net

Lori Pittman on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to the Urban’s!! Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. I know that they waited a long time to have her. What a blessing for them. May God Bless them.

sara on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nicole And Keith on there baby girl!!!!

jacky on July 7th, 2008

i am truly amazed that she had the baby already. she never really looked pregnant to me.

but congrats to them! i hope the new family is doing well!

sunday rose- interesting name. sounds pretty together, i am just no sure i like the name sunday by itself

Amber H. on July 7th, 2008

I guess Keith wasn’t kidding with the she’s very, very, very, VERY pregnant comment! Congrats – I bet she’s adorable!

sarah on July 7th, 2008

Cute name!!!

Melissa on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to them! What a cute name!

Melanie F. on July 7th, 2008

Awwwh Congratulations to the whole family. I bet they are just tickled pink. =)

fotini vestinos on July 7th, 2008

Congtats to everyone in the family hope enjoy the life with the new baby

mmh on July 7th, 2008

I was thinking boy too but I think it will be sweet to see her with a girl! Any chance, with that name, she was actually born late yesterday?!!! I think it’s pretty…

Nicole on July 7th, 2008

So, so, so happy for them. I had a feeling it would be a girl! Sunday Urban, what a cool name! Keith also has a song called “Raining on Sunday,” I wonder if that had anything to do with the name? Doubt it, probably just a coincidence. Congrats to the Kidman-Urban family!

CTBmom on July 7th, 2008

Aww. Congratulations to Nicole and Keith! I bet little Sunday Rose is beautiful! Lisa, I agree….I’ve been checking the site regulary the last two days expecting some news on Angelina or Camila and was really surprised to find that Nicole had give birth. For some reason, I guess I was thinking more towards the end of the month for her.

Jay on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to them both…thats a beautiful name. Very pretty.

Sylvana on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nicole, Keith, Isabella and Connor with the arrival of their daughter and little sister.

Hmm, Not so found of the name Sunday. I geuss it would be different is she was actually born on Sunday. Ahh well but Rose is a lovey name.

Kirrily on July 7th, 2008

Sunday Rose is a gorgeous name, congratulations to Nicole and Keith and the family!!!

kiley on July 7th, 2008

Wow! I had to read the headline twice because I was soo suprised! Congrats to them!

I wonder why they released the baby’s weight and not the length? I’m just curious. It probably wasn’t even intentional but I was just wondering because her bump seemed tiny

My son was 7 lbs 6 ounces and 19 inches long. I am barely 5 3 and I was HUGE!

Jaime on July 7th, 2008

Congrats Nicole & Keith!!!!

I thought the babies name was Rose when I first read the post. When I realized the name was Sunday I’m kinda shocked. Not a big fan of the name at all.

Deborah on July 7th, 2008

Congrat’s to them both. Sunday … vs … Suri (kinda close in my books). Not Sure I’m a fan of the name Sunday. Rose is cuter.

stephanie on July 7th, 2008

I LOVE the name! Kidman-Urban is a mouthful, though.

Linda on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to them! I’m so happy for the both of them!

Jess on July 7th, 2008

How wonderful! I was just thinking today when I commented on the other post that I couldn’t wait for her to have her baby. And now I randomly check again & here’s the news! How exciting…I think the name is different, but pretty.

Annemarie on July 7th, 2008

I love the name, although it is different. Urban is a tough last name so I was wondering what they would choose.

Stephanie, it is not Kidman-Urban, it sounds more like Kidman is a second middle name and she will go by Sunday Urban.

catherine on July 7th, 2008

OH wow I am so surprised was only on hear a few hours ago reading Keith saying she was very, very pregnant and now she has popped already YAY !!!

I love the name it’s cute and different but not wacky , can’t wait to see pictures i’m sure she’ll be a real beauty .

Congratulations Nicole and keith on her arrival and to all the family !

Catherine xxx

Emma on July 7th, 2008

That is wonderful news, I think most media outlets said it was a boy so I was surprised to hear a girl.

I have only ever heard of one Sunday before, she is Greek and it is a lovely name.

Only thing is you so know she will be asked if she was born on a Sunday!

Congrats to the Kidman/Urban family!

LadyL on July 7th, 2008

I dont so much like the name, would sound better if it was just Sunday Rose Urban, but congrats to all of them God bless hope everyone is healthy and happy!!!

Michelle on July 7th, 2008

Sounds like a country music superstar in the making. Sunday Rose…it’s different. I like it.

foni on July 7th, 2008

i’m very excited about Nicole, because she has been hoping for a child for a long time. congrats on them and i bet she is gorgeous! sunday rose is a very usual name considering other celebrity babies’ names we have recently heard of. It may show that she was born yesterday or even more peculiar, today for the greek orthodox is the nameday of saint Kiriaki (and kiriaki is Sunday in Greek, both the name and the day). i hope for them the best for their little princess.

Christa on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to the entire family. I love the name and wish them nothing but happiness.

Amanda on July 7th, 2008

Well I’m sure Nicole was in labor at least part of Sunday judging by how early this morning she must have been born for the news to be out already.
I’m SO happy for Nicole, I’ve watched her through the years and in some interviews you could just tell how much she longed for another baby, I bet Sunday Rose is just beautiful and I can’t wait to see pictures!

Shelly on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nicole and Keith! I was surprised to hear it was a girl considering the rumor it was a boy!

Moore on July 7th, 2008

I’m so happy for them! Sunday Rose is a pretty name.

Violet on July 7th, 2008

I love the name Sunday for a little girl… it was on my girls’ names list my last 2 pregnancies (I ended up having boys.
Congrats to the Kidman-Urbans!

tink1217 on July 7th, 2008

How exciting!!! LOVE the name too!!! Congrats to Nicole and Keith!!!!

Gigi on July 7th, 2008

she seems like such a delicate soul. it looks as though she has truly found her happiness. many blessings to her and keith and their new princess.

Stephany on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nicole and Keith! For some reason, I thought she was having a boy. I’m not sold on the name. Sunday Rose sounds very cute together but Sunday, as a name…it’s different.

Jade on July 7th, 2008

Aww I like the name Sunday Rose. I was hoping the baby was a girl.I hope she’ll look like her mother.

Sami on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to them! I love the name Sunday, although I do feel it would be more appropriate if she actually was born on Sunday. Well at least it was probably Sunday in California or Hawaii! I wish my daughter had been born on a Sunday… the old nursery rhyme says that is the best day to be born. Instead she was born on a Wednesday like I was. boo Oh well, I didn’t believe that rhyme anyway.

I think Rose is an interesting choice for a middle name considering that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes claim that Suri means “Rose”.

Dierna on July 7th, 2008

Sunday Rose?! OMG…That’s such a beautiful name!! Congrats to Nicole and Keith!!

Philippa on July 7th, 2008

ah that’s great, congrats to them! i had a feeling they were having a girl…

Brandi on July 7th, 2008

Wow, I expected a more traditional name like Connor and Isabella.

Hanna on July 7th, 2008

monday would be better

Rachel-Jane on July 7th, 2008

Sunday Rose, hmmm. I wonder why Sunday? Also I think it sounds like Sunday Roast!

Congratulations to Nicole and Keith.

Tara on July 7th, 2008

Congrats! What great news!

Kelly on July 7th, 2008

Congratulations to the Kidman/Urban family…what a beautiful name! All the best!

Alana on July 7th, 2008

This is great news!!!
Congratulation to the growing family! All the happiness and health to little one and nicole. Keith and Nicole are probably over a moon !!!

brooke on July 7th, 2008

Sunday rose, oh god what a bad name. I can’t imagine calling a little girl, hey sunday want some dinner lol. Celebrities sure do pick weird names, but anyway congrats to her and she carried very small but the baby was a decent weight.

southlyn on July 7th, 2008

Love the name… I wish them so much happiness.

Kerri on July 7th, 2008

Hmm, I had actually expected Nicole to pick a bit more of a traditional name. But Sunday has kind of a country feel to me, which makes sense. I love Rose as a middle name and I suspect Sunday will grow on me. Sunday Urban has such a cute ring to it, though!

Congrats to them, they seem like such sweet people So glad Nicole found love again AND a new baby!

Maggie on July 7th, 2008

aww sooo happy to hear this news!! I got goose bumps when i read it!! Sunday Rose….how pretty!! Wow Nicole must have had a fast birth?? keiths announcement about his very very very pregnant wife and the birth announcement came close together! god bless them.

Amanda on July 7th, 2008

Very best wishes to the family!

rachael on July 7th, 2008

Interesting name choice, especially given that one of Keith’s big songs is “Raining on Sunday.” Love the name Rose, and I’m so happy for Nicole and Keith. I’m sure they’re on Cloud Nine!

i think on July 7th, 2008

@emma Sunday isnt solely Greek. Its a common West Afrikan name.

@sami I agree. Kate/tom say suri means rose and now Nic’s daughter ‘s middle name is rose.

@rachel: I agree. Perhaps “Raining On Sunday” not only KU’s biggest hit but the song that caught Nic’s interest in KU so their daughter is named in honour of that?

Yea Nic! After an extopic preg & miscarriage I know this must be extra xtra special for you.

emma on July 7th, 2008

Lol – Sunday was born on a Monday. I’ve never heard of Sunday as a name before but I do quite like it – is sounds very pretty with Rose.

Congratulations to them all – this really is a long-awaited baby!

Lena on July 7th, 2008

Oh my god, I am so happy for the two of them. That’s really great.

Now Nicole got her miracle baby!!!!

And the name is really cute: Sunday Rose. Imagine her, looking like her mother one day, that suites her really well.

I just wish them the best……

When I heard that the baby was finally here, I was so happy and I just coudn’t stop smiling, because I’m such a big fan of Nicole!!!!

Love Lena (Nicole we love you so much over here in Germany)

Erica on July 7th, 2008

I love the name Sunday Rose! It’s different, but if you think about it out of all the days of the week Sunday is the best suited for a girl’s name. And I love how they paired it with the beautifully classic Rose. Connor is becoming more and more outnumbered and I bet he loves it!

erica alayne on July 7th, 2008

Oh, I just KNEW that she was having a girl! I didn’t believe all of the rumors about a boy for a second. I just really felt like she was having a girl.

I’m surprised because I would have thought that they would have picked a more traditional name, but I think Sunday Rose is adorable. Congrats to them!

M on July 7th, 2008

Sami & Rachel. Rose is the name of Keith’s grandmothers who passed away in 2004.
And “Suri” means also princess

Congrats to this beautiful couple! Sunday Rose it’s a beautiful name…

Emaline on July 7th, 2008

I am so happy for you and Keith, Nicole! Congratulations!!!!

Paige on July 7th, 2008

Aw, Congratulations to Keith and Nicole. I think her name is pretty and I’m sure she is absolutely beautiful like her mother.

Elaine on July 7th, 2008

Awww what lovely news. Sunday Rose is a sweet name, and it is nice that they are honouring Keith’s grandmothers in her name.

Jeannette on July 7th, 2008

Congratulations! I was wondering when Nicole was going to pop out a baby this month and I’m glad Sunday Rose is a healthy baby- you can even hear the happiness in Keith’s message. I wish all three (or five, including Isabella and Connor) the best of luck!

jashmom on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nicole and Keith!!! I’m sure their daughter is just as gorgeous as her parents!!! Can’t wait to see pictures =)

Nikki on July 7th, 2008

Congrats To You Guys. I love the baby girls name, i hope that you guys have the time of your life with her

J.M. on July 7th, 2008

I was really thinking boy on this one but I’m happy for them! Not feeling the name at all. I really don’t get it but to each their own.

Wonder if Suri and Sunday will have playdates

J.M. on July 7th, 2008

and I also wonder had they had the baby yesterday would they have gone with sunday LOL!!!

Justin on July 7th, 2008

Sunday is my cousin’s name! it’s beautiful…A name full of joy!
CONGRATS NIC & KEITH…

Doreen on July 7th, 2008

Yahhhh!! Congrats to the happy parents on their lil precious Sunday Rose!!

say1031 on July 7th, 2008

OMG, I totally thought boy for her, but I’m thrilled she had a girl. Love her name and Sunny is a cute nicknmae should they want one.

tan on July 7th, 2008

yay so happy for them!congrats nicole and keith!

rimmie on July 7th, 2008

CONGRATS!!! That is so wonderful and that name is just perfect.

blackrose on July 7th, 2008

i love the name!!! Sunday Rose and my sister share the share the same birthday! congratulations! :D

Umma A on July 7th, 2008

@ Rachel-Jane: Sunday Roast — LOL!

I thought the name was Rose and that she was born on Sunday when I first read the post. Then I had to read it again to realize her name was Sunday! It’s cute. I never would have thought of it.

I’m glad one of those celeb moms finally had a baby–seems like I’ve been waiting to hear something forever!

Congrats to them..

babyboopie on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nicole and Keith on their little girl Sunny, bet she is beautiful!

Alice on July 7th, 2008

Sunday Rose flows nicely =)
Congratulations to the whole Kidman Urban family, and all the best to their little girl!

Grayson's Girl on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nicole and Keith! I LOVE her name! Sunday Rose is a beautiful name for what I’m sure is a beautiful girl! I’m so happy for her, especially knowing how much she has wanted another child. It seems things happened at the right time with the right man to create the perfect circumstances for little Sunday to make her debut into! Many blessings to them!

I have to say I’ve been steadily impressed with the newest stream of celebrity baby names! Quite a few celebs have been finding a wonderful balance between unique and classy vs. plain and redundant. Harlow, Honor, Eden, Savannah, Shiloh, Suri, and now Sunday have all been beautifully different from the standards without venturing into the ridiculous. Kudos to their parents!

ang on July 7th, 2008

sunday yet born on monday lol interesting but cute name.a little aussie superstar in the making =)

JK on July 7th, 2008

Finally!!!!!!! Yay! I predicted a girl…and can’t wait to see pictures. I’m sure she’s just gorgeous. Unique name…I like it! Congratulations!

Love The Name on July 7th, 2008

Love the name – Sunday is such a wholesome name days spent @ Church, having roast dinner and walking in the countryside!

Kelly on July 7th, 2008

Sunday Rose…unique without being ridiculous. Beautiful name, many congratulations.

sleekraven on July 7th, 2008

Very many congratulations to Keith and Nicole. I wish your family abundance joy and Happiness. And welcome into a beautiful world baby Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, God bless you and be with you .

iluvallbabies on July 7th, 2008

I think its such a pretty name, but sounds so close to Sunday Roast as someone suggested!!! LOL.

Diane on July 7th, 2008

Yee ha!!! Yahoo!!! Yeah!!!!

Congratulations!!!! We can’t wait to see her.

Kellie on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nicole and Keith! I bet she is a beauty! LOVE love LOVE the name!!!!

Oh and awesome birthday…not saying that because it is mine..ok yeah I am! hehe

J.J. on July 7th, 2008

Yay congrats to the Kidman-Urban families on the arrival of the new little girl!!! I knew it was a girl! I also like the name Sunday Rose, and hope both mama and baby daughter are doing fine!!

Kelly on July 7th, 2008

Yay congrats to Nice, Keith, and family!! I kind of had a feeling it would be a girl. I’m not really a big fan of the name but do like how it sounds.

angela on July 7th, 2008

congations to nicole, keith and baby sunday!

Amanda on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Keith & Nicole on the birth of their baby girl, Sunday! I absolutely adore her name. Unique, but not out there. Girly, but not over the top. I hope they share pictures with us soon, I bet she’s beautiful.

ERICKA on July 7th, 2008

awwwwwwww yaya congrats to them!! what a beautiful name!

Shane Spencer on July 7th, 2008

( AH, THAT’S VERY, VERY DEVASTATING!! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BOY!! SHAME ON YOU, KEITH AND NICOLE!!

Donna on July 7th, 2008

I’m so happy for them! What a lovely name for a girl! I love Keith’s “Raining on Sunday,” I think it’s the most beautiful thing he’s done.

Congrats to the Urbans and to Connor and Bella.

Renee on July 7th, 2008

to kirrily: in answer to why baby Sunday’s length was not released, it could simply be because Keith and Nicole /their publicist did not know it! i am a postpartum RN and have many parents asking me their baby’s lengths because it is not put on the baby’s name card…we put the weight at birth but wait for the pediatrician to measure them.

Jennifer on July 7th, 2008

Congratulations to Nicole and Keith on their arrival of their baby girl! And congrats, also, to Isabella and Connor, on their sister!

I’m sure little Sunday is an absolute beauty!

FC on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nicole and Keith. I actually like the name, and this isn’t the first time I’ve heard of a girl named Sunday. I just think Sunday Rose Urban flows a lot nicer than having Kidman in there as well.

But anyway, I’m happy for the couple! Hope to see a pic of her soon.

Allison on July 7th, 2008

I wonder if she had a natural birth? Anyone know?

kelly on July 7th, 2008

YAY!!!!
congrats Nicole & Keith
Sunday was born the day before my birthday
thats cool!

Maddy on July 7th, 2008

YAY!!!
I was so happy when I got this news today!! I love Sunday Rose, I think it’s so pretty. It reminds me of Keith’s song “Raining on Sunday” – I wonder if it relates at all?

Regardless, I love it, and love them!!

Congrats!! Yayyyy!!

Erin on July 7th, 2008

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the name (though it sounds better without the Kidman, IMO.) ♥ I’m sure she is gorgeous! Can’t wait for pictures!!!

Congratulations to Nicole and Keith!!

blue_butterfly on July 7th, 2008

I absolutely adore the name Sunday Rose – it’s just beautiful and I’m sure baby Sunday is just as adorable as her name… congrats to Nicole, Keith, Isabella & Connor!

Ashley on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nichole and Keith! I think I am happier for them than any other celeb couple lately!

And I agree, Sunday Rose is cute together, but I am not so sure about Sunday by its self.

Chicki on July 7th, 2008

I guess little Sunday will have the privilege of dual citizenship, since she was born here? I am truly happy for the new parents – and my phrasing of “new parents” is in no way meant to diminish her role as mom to her first two kids, but as far as I know Keith is a first time dad and they’re experiencing this new life together! Congrats to the happy couple.

Bancie1031 on July 7th, 2008

Congratulations to Nicole and Keith Urban!!! I was right they had a precious little baby girl I hope they decide to share a picture of her with us. I love the name Rose but I don’t really care for the name Sunday but I’m sure it will grow on me like Suri did I wish them the best of luck and happiness!

brooke on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to them on a healthy baby girl, but that’s not a cute name at all to me. Sunday is a day of the week, not a female name, but to each is own. Rose would be nicer if they call her, but they will probably call her sunday.

Luisa on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to the Kidman-Urban family! With parents this good-looking, little Sunday is sure to be gorgeous… I wonder if we’ll get to see her?

And I just have to get this off my chest… why do people find it strange when someone has a month or day name but wasn’t born at that time? For instance, regarding Sunday Rose, I’ve already seen a few remarks (not necessarily on this site) such as “a Sunday born on a Monday? What the heck were Nicole and Keith thinking???”. Maybe the name Sunday means something special to them, and they didn’t just randomly name her after the day they thought she was going to be born? Honestly, is that so hard to comprehend? Phew, sorry for the little rant, I’ll get off my soapbox now…

Jennifer on July 7th, 2008

congrats to the happy family. i am so happy for them and cannot wait for keith’s new album. he is an amazing songwriter, and now after experiencing the love for his child, his songs are going to be unbelievable!

Rosy J on July 7th, 2008

Congratulations to Nicole and Keith! I love the name. Bella and Connor have another little sister. This is good news indeed.

claudiazz on July 7th, 2008

I bet that “Sunday” has some special significance for Nic and Keith that only their closest friends will ever know. Maybe their first date was on a Sunday, they conceived their daughter on a Sunday, etc., etc. Nic is quite private, we may never know what the significance is of her name, but I feel certain that it has some special meaning for her parents.

hkdiaz on July 7th, 2008

I’m not normally one who likes “interesting names”, but I love this little girl’s name Congrats Nicole and Keith!

DLR on July 7th, 2008

Oh what a nice surprise! The baby is actually a pretty good weight considering how small Nicole was during her pregnancy! Goes to show every pregnancy is different, and Nicole certainly carried very nicely and petite! If only we could all look like that when pregnant! Sunday Rose Urban is a nice name, not sure about the significance of using a day name, reminds me of Wednesday Addams, or even Sunday Roast!

Anyway, congrats to Nicole, Keith, Connor, and Isabella on the newest addition to their family!

annie on July 7th, 2008

I tend to agree with Luisa’s point about the name, Sunday, and very many adverse reactions to it. Anyone remember that Nicole and Keith were married on a…..Sunday?

Summer on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to them! BTW Im a Summer who was NOT born in summer, so I dont see why its s big deal that she wasnt born sunday.

Mary-Helen on July 7th, 2008

I really dislike the name, but congrats to Nicole and Keith!

Nicole on July 7th, 2008

CONGRATS TO Keith and Nicole! So glad little miss Sunday has made her arrival!

I’m not sure what I think of the name yet, though I think it has a classy touch to it.

As far as it being interesting they used “Rose” when Tom and Katie claim that Suri means Rose— does it truly matter? I don’t think that was high on Keith and Nicole’s priority list, they chose a name for their daughter that they loved and meant something to them, and that’s most important. No need to even bring Katie and Tom in it

Alison on July 7th, 2008

Even though she was not born on a Sunday, her birthday is 7/7. This is really interesting given that Sunday is the 7th day of the week. However I am sure this name has a greater meaning to this family.

Julia A on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Keith and Nicole!
I’ve just realized how often “Sunday” shows up in country music (I’m a country music fan). Besides Keith Urban’s “Raining on Sunday”, there’s also Craig Morgan’s “That’s what I like about Sunday” and Reba McEntire’s “Sunday kind of love”, etc. I think Sunday calls to mind an image of being relaxed and at peace.

pam woodhouse on July 7th, 2008

Nicole has been quietly determined to experience biological motherhood and I am delighted her prayers have been answered. I wish her and Keith joy and peace as they welcome their latest addition. And the name Sunday? Precious!

a on July 7th, 2008

i wonder if she will get a citizenship for new zealand where keith was actually born

zaraB on July 7th, 2008

Congratulations to Nicole and Keith!

I like the names Sunday and Rose separately, but Sunday Rose sounds waaaay too much like Sunday Roast to me!

Casey on July 7th, 2008

Emily on July 7th, 2008

I’m sure the Suri connection wasn’t even a thought for them.

Suri also means Pick-pocket in japanese, so has multiple meanings…

love the name, very peaceful and delicate, like mamma.

Congrats from down under!!!

Elizabeth on July 7th, 2008

Congratulations to Keith and Nicole! I am so glad to hear that their little one has joined the world safe and sound!

Heather on July 7th, 2008

Sunday Rose is cute but I hope they don’t call her “Sunny” for a nickname. I didn’t expect something so unusual from Nic; I thought for sure she’s go with something classic.
Congrats to them.

Nicole was born in the US, so she must be a citizen here also.

Jennifer on July 7th, 2008

What a lovely name for a lovely baby girl. i am over the moon for them and their family. welcome baby sunday!

Nicole on July 7th, 2008

What if they end up calling her Suni or Sunny, that is way too close to her ex-husband’s kid’s name for me.

But, anyway, congrats to the family. I’m sure she can join the high school I’m going to open in about 10 years for celeb kids with strange names.

I ALSO AM VERY CURIOUS TO KNOW IF NICOLE HAD A NATURAL BIRTH, WONDER IF WE WILL FIND IT OUT?
CONGRATS TO THEM

leianajade on July 7th, 2008

Congratulations to Nicole and Keith! I’m happy for the both of them, and look forward to seeing their beautiful Sunday Rose whenever they’re ready to share her.

kiley on July 7th, 2008

RENEE- Thanks sooo much for your answer-that makes sense!

On the name I thought at first it was Surprisingly sweet and pretty, but I can’t imagine calling a little girl Sunday on a daily basis Like “Sunday, how was school?” (and i won’t pretend I understand the way celebrities name their children)

Congrats to them!

Rye on July 7th, 2008

How incredible!!! I am so happy for them!!!! I am also extremely shocked (and VERY delighted!) that they had a little girl-I was completely sure they were having a boy(I even remember Nicole making a slip once and referring to the baby as a “he”) but I REALLY wanted her to have a girl and I am so happy they did! She is going to be stunning! Isabella and Connor have yet another baby sister! How exciting for them!

Wow, Keith is pyschic!

Congrats to my favorite celeb couple!

chris on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nicole and Keith! I’m sure Sunday Rose is a doll! Sunny would be a cute nickname for her!

Kim on July 7th, 2008

Sunday Rose is a beautiful name, really reminds me of an old fashioned Country girl, could make a song out of her name very easily! Wouldn’t be surprised if Keith had a hand in her name

Judy on July 7th, 2008

I’m delighted for Keith and Nicole and wish them all the best with their precious baby girl.

CelebBabyLover on July 7th, 2008

Congrats to Nicole and Keith! I am actually not surprised that Kidman is part of her name, as Isabella and Connor’s full names are Isabella Jane Kidman Cruise and Connor Anthony Kidman Cruise. I’m guessing Sunday will just go by Sunday Urban, though, just as Isabella and Connor go by Isabella Cruise and Connor Cruise.

Jeni on July 8th, 2008

The connections of Suri meaning rose and them middle naming her Rose, are just plain annoying. I’ve read on a few sites that Keith’s grandmother’s name was Rose and she passed away in 2004. So the middle name probably has to do with that more than anything else. And I think that’s beautiful and such a lovely way to honor his grandmother. And I think it’s a beautiful middle name. So it’s nothing to do with in any way a connection to Suri’s name. Like they’re concerned about that.

And congrats to them both, and their respective families. =] That little girl probably has them wrapped around her little finger already. I’m SO happy for them!

And she came at just the right time, as Keith doesn’t have another show with Kenny until the 19th, so he has time to spend with his wife and child (which I’m sure they planned it so he wouldn’t have any shows around the time she was to give birth). Though I’m not sure if he’ll want to be separated from them now that he’s got little Sunday Rose finally here and in his arms. But at least he’s only got 7 shows over the span of two months and then unlimited time to spend with Nicole and Sunday Rose. =D

Rebecka on July 8th, 2008

I absolutely love the name Sunday Rose! I agree with a lot of you, I was surprised to see she had already delivered. I as well was expecting Camila or Angelina to give birth first.

As for her name being a day of the week, I think it is cute…. I love Sunday for a baby girls names, very classy and elegant. I think it is definitely fitting for Keith and Nicole. I would never use the name since my last name is Monday, but I think it is just perfect for them

Kayleigh on July 8th, 2008

Kinda sounds like ‘Sunday Roast’ LOL, still cute tho!

Nelle on July 8th, 2008

I’m so delighted to hear this news! Even though my mom (whose 5’10″) carried very small like Nicole, i wasn’t expecting a birth so so.
Congrats to the family.
Love the name, so sweet, even though I expected something more traditional.
I agree with Luisa’s suggestion that the name has some other significance to Keith & Nicole.

Sheri on July 8th, 2008

My heart is full of joy for them! Not crazy about “Sunday”, but it’s slowly growing on me already. I just hope she doesn’t get called “Sunny” as a nickname. Love Rose, though, for a middle name – that’s the middle name my husband and I have picked out for a girl. May God bless Nicole, Keith and little Sunday with a lifetime of happiness!

Sarah on July 8th, 2008

That is a really silly name!Is it a competition to pick the silliest celeb name.

Cora on July 8th, 2008

Congratulations to the lovely couple, that’s wonderful news! I bet there will be a lot of family and friends flying into their hometown this week. I wonder if little Sunday Rose has red hair?

Surprised at the number of peeps who are commenting on how unusual the name is though – Sunday isn’t especially different, is it? Not so oft-used, perhaps, but as far as I know it’s always been around. Perhaps it’s just a case of different cultures…

SouthernBelle on July 8th, 2008

Good call, Annie, on remembering Keith and Nicole were married on a Sunday. That could have been significant in choosing little Sunday Rose’s first name. Also Sunday is the Christian day of worship. Several of you pointed out Sunday might be linked to Keith’s song Raining on Sunday or that Rose could be in honor of a family member…there are so many possible factors in the Kidman/Urban choice of her name. I’m sure Sunday means something special to them and it would be interesting to find out if they are inclined to share. I think there would be less speculation on her name if she was born on Sunday. Having said that, Sunday Rose is a beautiful name with lots of charm and IMO is very sweet, gentile and so girly-girl. I love it. I’m glad little Sunday and Nicole are doing well and that it appears that the birth was uncomplicated. Nicole has wanted a baby for so long so I’m thrilled for her after all she has been through. Congratulations to Keith, Nicole and the whole Kidman/Urban Family!

Sandra on July 8th, 2008

Congratulations Nicole and Keith. I´m really happy for them that their dream come true. I wish them all the best for themselves and their little daughter, I´m sure she is beautiful and perfect, and Sunday Rose is a beautiful name for her daughter.

Cristy on July 8th, 2008

“Sunday Rose” sounds more like ‘Sunday ROAST’, what are some people thinking when they name their children, teasing happens no matter what but you dont want to help kids tease by choosing stupid names. What ever happened to Mary and Sarah, such beautiful and traditional names; at least you can both spell and pronounce them……..

Kat on July 8th, 2008

I think Sunday Rose is a pretty name.
In response to people thinking it sounds like Sunday Roast…
A long time ago in Australia there was an ad on the TV where a girl won a date with Tom Cruise, and she knocked it back, because her Mum was cooking a roast. She wanted a roast more than a date with Tom Cruise.

Congratulations to Nicole and Keith. I am lookign forward to seeing photos of their gorgeous (how could she not be?) daughter.

Joleen on July 8th, 2008

Obviously I don’t know this couple but when I read that they had their baby I let out screams of happiness. I can’t remember feeling so happy and excited over any other celebrity birth before. Nicole seems like she’s wanted this for a really long time and with the birth of her daughter with Keith, Sunday Rose, I hope it’s everything she wanted and more. Congratulations to the new parents!! I can’t wait to see their beautiful baby girl although I hope the paps will give them their privacy and let them show the baby for the public to see on their terms. Congrats again to Nicole, Keith, and Sunday Rose!!

ila on July 8th, 2008

I love the name Sunday, it’s really common in spanish Domingo for boys and Dominga for girls… it’s hardly unsual in Latin America and Spain

nicky on July 8th, 2008

Congrats on the new baby girl to the whole family.

Aitch on July 8th, 2008

Beautiful name! I am so happy for NIcole. She deserves this happiness and love.

Stacey on July 8th, 2008

If you go on People.com they explain the meaning behind the name!

sarah on July 8th, 2008

Am so happy for them that will be one gorgeous baby you know it I hope she get her moms red hair it would look so good with her sparkling blue eyes she should have since both her parents have blue eyes wow that kid would be cute it could be an actress or a singer. Awwwww and keith could sing to her to go to sleep. She probably would have a good voice. Doesn’t the name Sunday Rose Kidman Urban sounds good for a red head and the most fiercest piercing deep blue eye. OMG just talking about it make me want to scream . I need photos.

Miranda on July 9th, 2008

Maybe she was conceived on a Sunday…or maybe there is some other significance to Sunday. I know Keith has a song with Sunday in the title

Allie on July 9th, 2008

JudeW on July 17th, 2008

They could have quickly changed to ‘Monday Rose’, no? )

Hm.. ‘Sunday Urban’.. sounds like a product or something..

Oh well.

Urban Baby Bonnets on July 19th, 2008

I want to send them one of those Urban Baby Bonnets; does anyone know where you can send a gift?

M on December 26th, 2008

Adorable name!! We almost named our daughter Sunday Eliza, because she was due on a Sunday and we loved the name. We ended up naming her Alexia June, because she was born June 1st.
