Nicole Kidman’s Hatred Of Scientology Inspired Stupid Baby Name, Source
Then buzz it up
July 8th, 2008 at 12:00 by Stuart Heritage
Now that Nicole Kidman has finally achieved her life's goal and given birth to a baby, we can all concentrate on why she gave it such a crappy name.
And actually it seems like there's quite a simple answer - Nicole Kidman decided to name her new daughter Sunday Rose because she really, really hates Scientology. Apparently.
You see, Nicole Kidman is a Catholic and Sundays are important to Catholics, but not important to Scientologists, and she used to be a Scientologist, so she called the baby Sunday as a sort of painfully oblique jab at Scientology. See?
Insulted, Tom Cruise has vowed to even the score by naming his next child after something that's important to Scientology, meaning that in a few years we can all say hello to little Unnecessarily Litigious Cruise or Unsettling Public Image Cruise.
Nicole Kidman isn't a bitter woman. Or at least we don't think that Nicole Kidman is a bitter woman - we haven't really been able to discern a single identifiable facial expression of hers other than 'mildly startled' since about 2004 - but if this new report is true then we might have to reverse our decision.
On Monday morning Nicole Kidman finally gave birth to her first biological baby, and we're absolutely certain that it was a moment of sheer, undiluted, life-changing joy for both her and Keith Urban. Nothing could have made the moment more perfect.
Well, except for Nicole Kidman deliberately giving the baby a name that would nark off Tom Cruise, anyway.
And that's what some are saying she did. Nicole Kidman's new baby is called Sunday Rose, which is obviously a direct insult to all Scientologists. Obviously. Don't believe us? MSNBC has spoken to a source who definitely exists and has obviously got all of the obvious facts:
“Nicole is a Catholic, and Sunday was an important religious day for her until she was involved in Scientology,” said the source. “She’s still bitter about her experience with Scientology and the fact her baby’s name could be perceived as one last jab doesn’t exactly upset her.”
Yeah! Take that, evil Scientologists! If naming a baby after a day of the week that has equal importance to every other day for them doesn't finish the religion off for good, nothing will! This is bound to hit Scientology harder than anything since the time that Halle Berry named her baby Nahla Ariela, which is an anagram of Anal Ear Hail, which is - oh, we don't know - something that Xenu invented or whatever.
Of course, there's also a report claiming that Nicole Kidman decided to call her baby Sunday Rose because Keith Urban had written a song called Sunday about the baby, and that probably sounds a bit more true.
Note to any Keith Urban fans reading - that's a brand new song called Sunday as opposed to the existing Keith Urban song Raining On Sunday, which Keith wrote before he met Nicole Kidman and was just a lonely cowboy with a dream of having a baby, naming it Sunday and getting to piss all over it whenever he liked. We don't want any confusion.

Why didn’t she just call it Xenu? Scientology’s space alien version of the devil.

Why would she choose another name? For many people on earth, sunday is the rest day, and it’s not a sin to use such a waod!
July 8th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
why didn’t she call her little girl Ihatescientologyits apileofcrap Rose?
July 8th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
There is nothing called humanity these days , and I dont know whos to blam.
Wonder whatever that baby has done to receive such nasty comments
July 8th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Maybe she likes the name Sunday.
July 8th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
I find it fascinating how people know exactly what Scientology is, because of reports in the media.
If you want to know what Dianetics is, God forbid you should read the freaking book, just look up the latest media comments.
Using this logic, I should never have to do any actual research on the presidential candidates because, God knows, the media would never lie to me, right?
Wrong. Look what the media did to Ron Paul. (If you don’t know who Ron Paul is or, think he was just another fringe candidate, then you’re an idiot who doesn’t care about the Constitution.)
Why don’t you boneheads get off your asses and do some actual research. You might learn something.
Here’s three links to get you started:
http://www.scientology.org
http://www.dianetics.org/
http://www.campaignforliberty.com/

July 8th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
And if you’d like, after checking those links, I strongly recommend reading some information from sources other than the “church” of scientology:
http://www.enturbulation.org/
http://exscientologykids.com/
http://youfoundthecard.com/
Also relevant, this recent exposé of scientology’s violation of child labour laws in Australia:

July 8th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
I think Sunday is a lovely name. Nobody freaks out about names like Wednesday or April, so why not Sunday?
Michael, there is much more to scientology than just that poorly written dianetics book and what’s on the scientology sites. Those don’t have all court documentation detailing the cult’s criminal history that have earned it the treatment it is getting from the media and the public. Prior to the last few months, the cult’s litigious nature made the media terribly hesitant to report on these important matters so the public never knew. But now, the victims are no longer afraid to speak out about the abuses they have suffered, and the media is no longer afraid to report on it.
July 8th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
I think Michael may be the key to understanding the long-postulated link between humorless dipshits who post on hecklerspray and Ron Paul supporters.
You’re right Michael, you’re smarter than everyone, and support for Ron Paul is just one symptom. Everyone else just DOESN’T UNDERSTAND, because they’re too dumb and haven’t done any research.
July 8th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Hey Anonymous, what do any of those links have to do with reading the Dianetics book?
Oh ya, that’s right.
If someone actually read the book, they might actually find out what Dianetics is, which would drive you nuts.
I don’t care if you doubt what Dianetics is.
But, you will never find out what Dianetics really is by listening to what other people have to say about it.
You will never find out what Dianetics really is until you read the book.
Last time I checked, the paperback cost $6.95.
Don’t let others make up your mind for you.
Read the book and make up your own mind.
Michael
July 8th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
gir, #1. I never said I was “smarter than everyone”.
#2. Is it possible to know any subject IN DEPTH, without doing the research?
Michael
July 8th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Well, I usually have some snarky thing to say about almost anything, but I think Sunday Rose is a sweet name. Oh, BTW, L. Ron Hubbard + Senile Dementia = Ron Paul
July 8th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
You don’t have to say it, Michael, I can smell your impotent nerd rage from here. By the way, take a shower once in a while.
July 8th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
did anyone consider that she just liked the name Sunday? Anyone at all?

Scientology is definitely a cult. I don’t need to join up to be able to know that. I’ve done plenty enough research to know that.
Oh, and Michael, somebody wrote that book, so even by reading it, you are still just listening to what someone has to say about it. Just because its printed doesn’t really prove anything.
July 8th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
@ Michael
There is nothing wrong with dianetics. Just as there is nothing wrong with any other “religious text”. It’s not about the content of the Cult of Scientology, rather it’s their fascist policies and their practice of disconnecting and ruining families.
I’ll read Dianetics (I have already read some of it) with an open mind if you promise to do the same about the history of Scientology.
July 8th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Bunch of stupid morons you are, you ignorant cultists!
July 8th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Micheal trying hard to sell some dianetics books aren’t you. Can’t give those things away.
Micheal why not go to http://exscientologykids.com/ and discuss dianetics with some OT’s, some of whom knew Hubbard and Miscavige personally. See what they think of scientology.
Micheal, you are being scammed by a cult and we will be here to help you when you wake up.
July 8th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
I guess everyone is different. I personally think that it is a beautiful name. I would call her “Sunny Day” when she was a happy little girl. And the name Rose is one of my favorites. Lighten up!
July 8th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
who. fucking. cares.
July 8th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Michael;
There is a difference between reading something
and knowing it IN DEPTH. You see, to know it IN DEPTH
you have to think, USING YOUR OWN BRAIN.
You didn’t need to say that you think you are smarter
than everyone because it was implicit in your remarks.
Just as it is implicit in mine that I think you are
a colossal shit monger. ooops. Now it’s explicit.
Didn’t really trust your abilities at inference, there.
July 8th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Michael you must be brainwashed into the cult known as Scientology… god help you.
July 8th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
[...] You know about my feelings towards Scientology. I think it is quite a crazy cult with lots of celebs in it. Well, it turns out that Tom Cruise’s ex-wife, Nicole Kidman hates scientology too! Here is a story on why she named her baby Sunday Rose… [...]
July 8th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Actually Michael, I have read Dianetics and it’s a load of crap. When Hubbard isn’t making up words he’s changing the meanings of existing ones. That he had to make a glossary to provide definitions for his made-up language is telling. Furthermore, whenever he makes a claim that he’s done the “research” on something so it must be true, he fails to actually provide the PROOF behind his claims. Try harder and fail less, please.
July 8th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Michael, a lot of people have read Dianetics and agree with anonymous.
July 8th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
It seems that everybody’s missing the point…I would think the child’s first AND middle name are significant. ‘Sunday Rose’ would seem to be descriptive of the resurrection of Jesus, Who ‘rose’ on a ‘Sunday’. Take that, Tom!!
July 8th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
>> “you will never find out what Dianetics really is
>> by listening to what other people have to say
>> about it”
Oh. Is there some other way to examine it, Michael?
Measure it with a ruler? Poke it with a stick? Send a robot probe inside it?
Nonsense. Dianetics isn’t a solid object like Mars. It’s a concept, a process. Dianetics has no existence EXCEPT for the effects it produces in people. The book is relevant only in so far as it’s used on people - which is only a fraction of the whole process.
Michael, the ONLY way to find out about it is to ask people.
July 8th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
That’s not what the other article said.
Quote…
” The beautiful baby girl, who was born on July 7 in Nashville to parents Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, is named after early 20th-century artist’s muse Sunday Reed, PEOPLE has confirmed. Her middle name, Rose, is a nod to Urban’s late grandmother Rose. “
July 8th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
If you want to know the TRUTH about scientology, all their “secret scripture” that they charge their “parishioners” $350,000 or more to access is now available for FREE on wikileaks!
July 8th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Sunday Rose is a beautiful name. God bless Nic & Keith.
July 8th, 2008 at 11:38 pm
LOL, The COS is nothing but a giant CULT. What a joke. I cannot believe anyone with an ounce of common sense would fall for that nonsense.

Keith Urban did not write Raining on Sunday, Radney Foster wrote and recorded it prior to Keith.
July 9th, 2008 at 2:30 am
Except it has nothing to do with any of that.
Google the very famous Australian artist named Sydney Nolan… and Sunday Reed.
Idiots.
July 9th, 2008 at 2:42 am
Dear Michael,
I will not argue that “Dianetics has not helped anyone”, but does the publishing of a book validate the existance of a cult?
Look at the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx. You see, Karl Marx was not actually a communist due to the fact that Marx knew it would never work. Unfortunately to the fate of the world, communism produced a man who killed more people than Hitler - this being the infamous Stalin. Thus Karl Marx is not responsible for these deaths.
Unlike the relationship between the Communist Manifesto and Marx, Dianetics (as great as it seems) does not justify the actions L. Ron Hubbard with the Cult of Scitentology has cursed on this world - being in the active practice of child slavery, rape, forced abortions, government inflitration, mind control, contorted history, and even murder.
Even if a man writes one semi-decent work of literature - this does not excuse him from the piles of waste produced of science fiction turned religion zealotism - that of which is the library of LRH’s works and twisted thoughts.
Taken that LRH is a man who has been quoted, “I’d like to start a religion. That’s where the money is!” I seriously doubt he wrote Dianetics for the good of mankind.
July 9th, 2008 at 2:48 am
Too many speculations and perhaps it’s true, speculate all you want, but it’s certainly an unique name and the girl has to live with it through her life. It will not be as fun I’m sure. Too bad for her.
July 9th, 2008 at 3:28 am
When she grows up she can complain that everyone wants a piece of “Sunday roast”, just like poor old Britney….
Leave scientology alone! They can’t help that they are gullible, they were reincarnated that way and just can’t get their body thetans under control.
July 9th, 2008 at 4:05 am
Scientology has done enough to slander and hurt Nicole Kidman. Mocking the birth of her child seems like just another messed up Scientologist ploy. Can one make the assumption that this website is a cult front ?
July 9th, 2008 at 4:53 am
Honestly, i don’t understand why so many people are bashing on Scientology. If you don’t know what Black media is… look it up. Sure you’re not going to have such great adulation for this so called religion but at least be indifferent. NOT ONE person has said why they’ve hated it. Ignorance… it’s a crime to society.
July 9th, 2008 at 6:22 am
This idiotic site is such and obvious tool of the cult of scientology. It is typical of them to slander anyone who they see as an enemy. Kidman’s crime against the cult? She had the brains to divorce the closeted jesus of their cult Tom Cruise. You arent fooling anyone by trying to drag her through the mud. Get over it.
July 9th, 2008 at 7:39 am

When shes really bad Nicole can shout ‘Sunday, Bloody, Sunday’ but lets hope shes not naughty but ‘Bonny and Blythe and Good and Gay’(in a happy sense of the word - not a lesbian, unless shes happy being a lesbian of course)

Okay, here are three reasons why I hate Scientolomology:

2) the thinking is crap theology (or sci-fi)
3) the organization is deceitful and at times criminal

I don’t get the pissing part. Do Scientologists pee on their children? It’s a really bizarre thing to say with no explanation.
July 9th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
I’m an old lady who read a lengthy Life magazine article about Hubbard’s dianetics when I was a teenager. It was so bogus and contrived as to be was embarrassing–very sophomoric. Like the wild imagining of a late adolescent male.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Also the drug addled madman L. Ron Hubbard had a profound mental problem about roses — the flower — and the way they smelled. HGubbard used to yark off in to violently insane screaming tantrumps when he smelled rose perfume.
July 10th, 2008 at 2:41 am
This is all speculative nonsense. Nic’s baby is named after a famous Australian woman, Sunday Reed, who was very important in the Arts community in Oz: source, Nic’s father. ‘Rose’ was Keith’s grandma’s name.
July 10th, 2008 at 8:32 am
Good for Nicole Kidman and her smoking hot husband Keith Urban! She represents women rights and is an outstanding role model, she is a very talented and beautiful woman, and deserves to have a baby if thats what she wants to do. It’s a testament to her levelheadedness and intelligence that she was able to break free from a religious cult, Not to mention that loser that poor little katie is now saddled with. Let’s hope she can see the light before it ruins her life, and totally screws up her little girl.
