[Opinions] If you had to name your daughter after a day of the week, which one and why (more)
Choose between:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
I personally wouldn't use any but I like Wednesday (the old Addams Family TV series is awesome and Wednesday is the cutest) and I think that Monday, Tuesday and Sunday work quite well.
I guess I would pick Sunday because I like the way it sounds so sunny :) But it is a bit annoying that it's a celebrity name. I like Monday and its meaning but everyone hates mondays so...

Sunday sounds more like a name than any of the others to me and id give them the nickname Sunny!
Sunday for sure. It sounds the most name-y to me. I love the sunny theme of it, and it’s a nice chill day of the week.
Monday would actually be a pretty decent name. I especially like the meaning.
Tuesday? Nah.
Wednesday, I never understood the hype for. Doesn’t sound that good.
Thursday is a nice day of the week (At least for me) but it’s hardly a name.
Friday would also be okay. More so as a middle name.
Saturday is also hardly a name.

none. lol I once liked Sunday bc Keith Urban, though... lol
Sunday is by far the most appealing to me. I'd probably choose that. Honourable mention to Wednesday, but I'd save that for a cat.
Tuesday or Thursday
Thursday! Bold choice, I like it
Sunday would be my first choice, followed by Tuesday.
Tuesday! It's so sweet.
I like Wednesday best but it is super associated with the Addams Family.
I think it'd be between Tuesday and Friday... leaning more towards Tuesday. I don't know why though lol

I guess Sunday, as
-no one likes Mondays, though the sound is good
-Wednesday is too specifically Wednesday Addams
-Tuesday and Friday scan as masculine to me thanks to Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
-Thursday also feels more masculine, probably because the Thor connection is more noticable than some of the other sources
-Saturday is just a bad name

I’d pick Sunday, with Wednesday being a close second.
I'd probably pick Tuesday because of Tuesday Weld, an old time model. It seems the most tame. Recently I saw the film What Happened to Monday on Netflix in which identicial septuplets *7* are named after each day of the week. Personally I like to imagine I'd be more creative than that in such a scenario but that's me.
I personally would avoid Wednesday because even though I love the Addams Family it's be a but tedious, and Like you said everyone Hates Mondays. I like the celebrity baby name Sunday Rose even if it does sound very "Sunday school teacher".

I'll say Wednesday, though that's an obvious choice, given Wednesday Addams, which she inevitably would be associated with.
So, picking another, without that association, which will be Monday.
And I got curious which day of the week (in Danish) I'd name a daughter by. Some of ours hails from the Norse Myth.
Mandag - Månens Dag (Moon/Lunar Day)
Tirsdag - Tyrs Dag (Tyr's Day)
Onsdag - Odins Dag (Odin's Day)
Torsdag - Tors Dag (Tor's Day)
Fredag - for Frigg, wife of Odin
Lørdag - Old norse (the Viking era), laugardagr [laugar = bath, dagr = day], means in short order "vaskedag (bath day)" Which may be why Vikings were more clean than the rest of the world... lol
Søndag - Old Norse for "sunnudagr (Sunnu = sun, dagr = day)", "Solens Dag" = Sunday
I'll pick Fredag, since its from Frigg, already a feminine name. Second choice, Mandag.

The English language week day names are also mostly from Norse myth, same as the Danish. Though weirdly Saturday is from Saturn... random lol
I would pick Fredag too! Like Freda, Frida, et al.
I’d go with Tuesday. I think it sounds nice and isn’t associated with a TV character or as a celebrity baby name.
Wednesday — I love the Addams Family association. I’m really surprised that’s not in the main database. I would choose Wednesday Alice, or something similar.
Friday is too associated with Robinson Crusoe for me, and Monday reminds me of the Cleveland elementary school shooting, the killer said she did it because she didn’t like Mondays.

Ditto - I love Wednesday and the Addams Family! I might pick that one. I like the idea of a Wednesday "Wendy". Something like Wednesday Minerva would satisfy my dramatic soul.... or Wednesday Mina. Very vampiric :)
My second choice would be Tuesday, there's something happy about that name that I really like.

Ooh Wednesday Mina and Wednesday Minerva are both good!
