[Opinions] Re: If you had to name your daughter after a day of the week, which one and why (more)
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" = SundayI'll pick Fredag, since its from Frigg, already a feminine name. Second choice, Mandag.

Top 3 Names:Nikita, Amelia, & Teresa / ♂ Elliott, Bastian, & Nathan
Top 2 Combos:Nikita Ravenwood Zenobia / ♂ Elliott Wolfbrand Maximus

The English language week day names are also mostly from Norse myth, same as the Danish. Though weirdly Saturday is from Saturn... random lol
