[Opinions] What a great site!

Thanks for the link!
I just checked for one of my favorite names, Thessaloniki(Thessalonica in English and Tessalonika in my first language). I love it as a middle name although the ancient queen by this name had a tragic end being put to death by one of her own sons. The site lists the feast day as unknown for this name but a book of Orthodox saints I have lists two. November 7th for St. Thessalonica, a martyr at Amphipolis in Macedonia and December 19th for St. Thessalonica, a martyr with Eutyches and companions.
