Weekday names

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Would you use a day of the week as a name? If so, which one(s)?

Personally, I think Tuesday is really pretty for a girl.

Not really, but I think Friday is a nice pets name. =)

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Yeah - Friday is good for a pet.

[scouty.livejournal.com]

wednesday is a nice name...

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Boy or girl? I'd like to say boy, as Woden was male, but then there's Wednesday Addams.

[scouty.livejournal.com]

I´d say girl..
I think it sounds like a girls name
I couldnt imagine a boy with that name... :(

[smack-me-silly.livejournal.com]

yea, like in the Adams Family; Wednesday was a perfect name for her.

[spookster831.livejournal.com]

Wednesday. Go Adams Family!

I know a girl who's name is Tuesday--nicknamed Tuey.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Like Chewy? I had a kitten called Chewbacca when I was tiny.

[sykotropic.livejournal.com]

Yes

I met someone who'd changed their name to Freya.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Changed it from Friday to Freya? Or was she called Freya Day? ;)

[iceni.livejournal.com]

Nah, just from an ordinary name.

[kreckless.livejournal.com]

not really.
"Hey Wednesday, wanna hang out Wednesday?"
no thanks!

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Good point!

[imyourrapunzel.livejournal.com]

I like Tuesday

[mandy-23.livejournal.com]

I would never use a weekday name on a child but I do really like the name Wednesday. I had a slight Addam's Family obsession and the name kinda stuck. :) I may use it on my kitten I'm getting in July.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

Good plan! Pets are useful for using up more wacky names than we'd actually give children.

there is a beatles song with the lyric "sunday's on the phone to monday, tuesday's on the phone to me" which always made me think 'tuesday' would be a great name for a girl. (i love the beatles.)

there is also a series of books by jasper fforde where the main character is a woman named "thursday next" (her mother was wednesday and her grandmother was tuesday!)

so, YES! i think tuesday is a wonderful name for a girl!! :)

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

None. There just too awful.

[starskye.livejournal.com]

I think I would. I've heard of someone named Sunday.

I like Sunday the best, followed by Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm not sure how I feel about the other days of the week, but I don't think I would use saturday. It sounds too...something...maybe too harsh...

[starskye.livejournal.com]

I also forgot to mention that I think I would stick to using something like this for a middle name. I think it's cute and all, to be named Sunday or Tuesday, but I also think if it were a first name it might lead to teasing. I like the idea for a mn, though

[boundsilences.livejournal.com]

i like the french words for days

mercredi, jeudi, samedi etc etc

[holdshiftpress8.livejournal.com]

ooh me too. mardi, jeudi et samedi =)

but i wouldn't name children after days of the week in any language i know. it'd just be weird and confusing

[ugottafriend.livejournal.com]

I like Sunday and Tuesday, but don't think I would ever use them for a child. Definitely a pet though.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'd use them as names myself, but I do think they're pretty. Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday, at least.

But Tuesday always reminds me of a regular named Tuesday at my old job; I had an idea she had once been a stripper, though, so maybe it wasn't even her real name.

I had a friend who named her daughter Wensdae. After I heard it, I did an Internet search and found that there were a few Wensdaes out there. Anyway, that aside, I'd always think of Wednesday Addams, so that would be out of the question.

Sunday would also be pretty as a name, and Saturday seems kind of odd, but I've always liked the sound of it. Friday originally brings to mind Rosalind Russell in His Girl Friday, but since that's not actually her character's name, I would move on to the guy who was basically a servant from Robinson Crusoe. Monday would bring to mind Dog Monday from Rilla of Ingleside.

So maybe I'm just biased against using most of them. Still, pretty.

Blu Mondae is a stripper in one episode of Nip/Tuck season 4 :P

[starrkissed.livejournal.com]

nope.

[monalyssasmile.livejournal.com]

My cousin is named Tuesday, I like the name.

[todopornada.livejournal.com]

I am really surprised no one made reference to Lynyrd Skynyrd.
I love the name Tuesday and would use it for a girl. Also, my mom almost named me Tuesday but went with Whitney instead.

[dead-kisses.livejournal.com]

I like Sunday.

[sherball.livejournal.com]

I know a tuesdai :)

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I don't see the point in using a name that is a word if that word doesn't even have a nice meaning. Weekdays are just the name for a regular, repeating, 24 hour period of time. It's not even a nice word name like Summer or Joy.

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Tuesday is pretty; I probably wouldn't use it, though.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I'd like Monday on a girl, since in its original language it means "day dedicated to the moon"

Tuesday also sounds pretty. Makes me think of the song "Ruby Tuesday".

I wouldn't like Wednesday (makes me think of the Addams girl) nor Thursday and Saturday because of how they sound.

Sunday is quite nice because it sounds to me almost like "sunny day", so that's a good charm

[corielcries.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't use one personally, but I like Wednesday and Friday on pets. I've also used Monday and Tuesday as twins in a story.

[composure.livejournal.com]

I think only for a middle name, and if you weren't into fillers.

[composure.livejournal.com]

And only if they were born on that day or the week, or it's there's some other significance attached.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

Tuesday is the only weekday name I like and would use. I like Wednesday but it's too obvious.

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

Wednesday, Tuesday

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

I'm named after a month, btw - May!

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about months too - April, May, June, and August have all become names in their own right. I really like November.

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

:P My sister's name is April. My mom was totally a flower child.
