A Rose by any other name

Language is important. Nicole Kidman just had a baby and, in the tradition of the Geldorf and Zappa families*, has given her daughter a nutcase name.

Sunday Rose.

Listening to the news on TV (is t really news?) it sounded like Sunday Roast.

Can't help but wonder if the consultant who worked with Nickers on the name thought beyond a provocative but acceptable name (brand) to how it sounds in a low bandwidth situation?

Mind you, what's wrong with Sunday Roast? Smells good.

Wasn't there a performer called Wavy Gravy?

* Moon Unit
Tiger Lilly
etc…

    Do you mean Nicole Kidman? Personally, I don't find anything wrong with the name Sunday Rose, and its her kid, so why the hell do you care?
