Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman called their daughter Sunday to celebrate family life. The country music star and his actress wife - who gave birth to Sunday Rose last July - chose the unusual name because they "dreaded" Sundays before they married in 2006.

Keith told U.S. talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "Particularly when you don't have someone in your life, in my experience, Sunday was the loneliest day. Everyone goes with their families and if you don't have a family, you don't have anybody. It went from being sort of the most dreaded day of the week for us to being the most joyous day, because we just had a family."

Keith, 41, also confessed both he and Nicole were relieved their daughter - who was born on a Monday - didn't arrive into the world on a Sunday as they feared people would think that was why they had chosen the name.

Keith - who lives in Nashville with Australian actress Nicole - added: "Sunday is wonderful. There is not too much talking yet. Although it's her version of it, I guess."

"When she does talk I think she'll say things like 'Good day, ya'll.' She'll have a nice mix of accent."
