Personal experiences with the name Sunday: | Edit

My cousin was born Cheryl and changed her name to Sunday in the early 70s. (Hippie days, yes!) I've always loved it and was happy to see Nicole Kidman name her baby Sunday. It's my favorite day of the week for a girl, followed by Tuesday, like actress Tuesday Weld.
