I think it's a British term. I heard someone use it and I have no idea what it means. Can anyone explain?

The sentence I heard it used in was "He called me by my Sunday Name".

I believe it is a term to describe the name one is given at birth. Dominic and Rosario, for instance, are traditionally given to babies born on Sundays.

Your "Sunday Name" is your "posh" or "proper name", like someone calling you "Stephen" in stead of "Steve", "Robert" instead of "Bob", "Elizabeth" instead of "Beth" or "Lizzy", "Margaret" instead of "Mags", etc. I believe it's a Yorkshire expression, but I've heard it used throughout the U.K.
