Sunday Rose: celebrity or felon?

Of course the primary name in the news is Sunday Rose, new daughter of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. I don't intend for this to be primarily a celebrity baby name blog, but Sunday Rose is just too interesting a name to pass up. I ran a report at TheRightBabyName.com, and here are some of the more interesting tidbits I received:

UNIQUENESS 89%
This name is about as unique as a name can be without being perceived as "strange". The pronunciation may be difficult for many people, and most people will probably need to be told how to spell it. The upside is that with this name, your child will most likely feel and be perceived as very unique. You can be very confident in the uniqueness of this name.

MEMORABILITY 94%
This name is extremely memorable. It will appear more memorable than 90% of all names currently in use.

ETHNICITY 0%
This name is more common in other ethnic naming pools than your own. Therefore, your
child may not see benefits of ethnic inclusion within your own ethnic group. If inclusion of your child in your ethnic group is important to you, you may want to reconsider this name choice in favor of a name that is more common within your ethnic group’s naming pool.

CELEBRITY 52%
Because this name appears occasionally among celebrity naming trends, your child
may benefit from the perceptions that are associated with celebrities, such as talent and affluence.

FELONS 54%
This name is somewhat uncommon among felons. It scores in the middle of the pack, which means that 50% of all names currently in use are more closely associated with felons than this
name.

Of course this is only a small sample of the entire report, sans charts, but I found some of it very funny, especially the felons bit. As for uniqueness--well, no one will need to be told how to pronounce or spell Sunday, but it's certainly an unusual name!

Finally, I'd like to point out that I'm updating the "Resources" section to include Baby Name Clusters, a new site that allows you to search for and view names in linked clusters based on which other names they are related to. It's a great tool if you're looking to name someone after a relative without actually using the relative's name, for example.
