Fraterday. The day of togetherness and brother/sisterhood
Transday - to piss off the bigots.
Âäáàāåã
There are no words that start with â in romanian, so why not add one in english
I’m gonna make it the only day that doesn’t end in Y, It will be called Satyrd’eh.
Dayday, so it can be payday on dayday for the baybay
In Denmark we have a saying: “When there’s two Thursdays in a week”, which is used when someone asks you something like “when can we have this thing?” or “when will you do that thing?” or “when will you give me a million dollars?”
So, Thursday.
Also Tuesday, it comes after Friday except on even numbered years it’s after odd numbered Mondays. On leap years it starts halfway through Wednesdays.
Second Sunday
Here’s a fun take for you: in Japanese its 月曜日、火曜日、水曜日、木曜日、金曜日、土曜日、and 日曜日, which translates to basically moon day, fire day, water day, tree day, metal day, earth day, and sun day— although it’s really celestial bodies, the very same mentioned in another comment (e g. Mars is the fire star, Tuesday).
It’s supposedly derived from Chinese, though they probably got it from Romen influence given similarities.
Anyway, the eighth day probably needs to be 天王曜日 (which is basically heavenly king day) or 海王曜日 (sea god day, aka Neptune) but I’m unsatisfied with that. Plus, honestly it’s way cooler as an elemental theme so my vote is 電曜日, denyoubi or electricity day, in honor of Pikachu. That day would be super effective.
Bring Modsday back
The days of the week come from the Sun (Sunday), Moon (Monday), and classic 5 planets (Tuesday = Mars, Wednesday = Mercury, Thursday = Jupiter, Friday = Venus, Saturday = Saturn). This makes more sense in some other languages, for example Spanish: marte / martes, mercurio / miercoles. Saturn = Saturday though is almost obvious.
So if there were another day in the week, I have no choice but to either:
- name it Earthday
- name it after Uranus, the next discovered planet
This gives us precedent to create up to 10 days per week by including all 8 planets plus sun & moon.
the days in english are from old norse, no?
- Sun’s day
- Moon’s day
- Tyr’s day
- Wodin’s day
- Thor’s day
- Freyr’s day
- Saturn’s day (okay that ones roman)
Yes but if I remember correctly, each of those Norse gods are correlated with the Roman gods who share names with planets, which is how you can draw a connection between the planets and weekdays for English. The same connection exists in many languages across the world including Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese.
you’re thinking of the greeks. the norse gods were separate.

Separate, but they still had equivalents / parallels. Tuesday is named after the god of war, Thursday is named after the sky/thunder god.
To specify, this was a retroactive correlation from a time when the Romans thought that maybe the barbarians were worshipping the same gods but just used different names for the gods. To my understanding, they drew correlations to a handful of other religions too
