The law changed. You have to name your child after a day of the week....

What do you pick for a girl and a boy?

Hyphenation allowed. Can choose a shortening if you want. Full name had to go on BC though Grin

I choose Tuesday for a girl, Friday for a boy.

Definitely Wednesday for a girl or Frida

Suny for a boy (boys names are hard)

NapQueen · 17/09/2017 11:01

Monday nn Mona for a girl
Friday nn Davie for a boy

OublietteBravo · 17/09/2017 11:04

Does it have to be in English? Or can I use days of the week in different languages?

OublietteBravo · 17/09/2017 11:07

I like Samedi for a boy, and Jeudi for a girl.

micropig · 17/09/2017 11:08

Yeah, I'll go for Dienstag and Mittwoch, haha. I suspect weekdays sound prettier in other languages...

SuperBeagle · 17/09/2017 11:12

Wednesday, absolutely.

Wednesday Addams is a fantastic namesake.

00100001 · 17/09/2017 11:51

It just says "days of the week" so, no language restrictions... Yet.

In fact Ruby Tuesday for a girl!

LinoleumBlownapart · 17/09/2017 11:59

Domingo for a boy, Ringo for a nickname. Wednesday for a girl, love Wednesday Adams.

LinoleumBlownapart · 17/09/2017 12:00

Ruby Tuesday is a winner Grin

PressPaws · 17/09/2017 12:04

Girl - Domenica
Boy - Mercredi

Hopefully the law doesn't change to English only!

Somerville · 17/09/2017 12:04

I quite fancy Luain (Loo-in) for a boy and Sathairn (Sa-ha-rin) for a girl.
Respectively, Monday and Saturday, in Gaeilge.

AhYaBastart · 17/09/2017 12:06

Diluain (Monday) for a boy, Sàbaid (Sunday) for a girl!

whitehandledkitchenknife · 17/09/2017 12:08

I'd go for Bank-Holiday-Monday for a boy (nn Banksy) and Three-Day Weekend for a girl (nn Daisy).

daisypond · 17/09/2017 12:11

Italian makes anything sound better,
Domenica or Mercoledi - girl (Sunday or Wednesday)
Giovedi or Sabato - boy (Thursday or Saturday)
