SUNDAY  

Gender: F
Origin: Word name

Among the best of the day names, with its sunny opening syllable. Made famous when Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban chose it for their newborn daughter. Though it had been widely written that Kidman and Urban named their baby after art patron Sunday Reed, Kidman recently was quoted saying that was a myth, they just liked the name.

Sunday is being discussed in our message boards:
