See More... Sunday Rose Kidman Urban: The mysterious yet playful little name Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban gave to their bouncing baby girl, born yesterday in Nashville. But what special meaning does the adorable moniker contain?

According to People magazine, the star couple's daughter takes her first name from Sunday Reed -- an early 20th-century artist's muse -- and her middle name from Urban's late grandmother, Rose.

"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," Kidman's father Antony explained to Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph. "The name Sunday struck me as being a nice name for a woman, so my wife and I mentioned it."

The Telegraph adds that in January, Nicole and Keith visited a gallery by Sidney Nolan -- the artist who was inspired by muse Sunday Reed.
