Nicole Kidman’s father Tells Us Why She Named her Baby ‘Sunday’

Little Sunday was born in Nashville, Tennessee on Monday and Antony Kidman insists his daughter and son-in-law Keith Urban didn’t get their days mixed up.

He explains his actress daughter has always loved the name Sunday after studying up on early 20th-century artist’s muse Sunday Reed, and the baby’s middle name, Rose, is a tribute to Urban’s late grandmother.

Kidman’s proud father tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph, “I have read a bit about Sunday Reed… 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.”

In January, Kidman and Urban reportedly visited an exhibition by artist Sidney Nolan, who used Reed as his muse.

Antony Kidman claims the couple was inspired by a Nolan quote scrawled across a wall at the art show: “When you are young you are given a good view of life, because of your closeness to birth.”
