Sextidi. It’s what the sixth day was called in the French Revolutionary Calendar’s ten-day week. But to follow the example of the
RomanGregorian calendar month-naming scheme, it will of course be the eighth day of the week. Also it contains the word “sex” which I expect will lead to both a lot of snickering teenagers and a lot of accidentally censored weekdays.Sextidi? Spicy
Sextidi? Je ne vois pas de problème
Bjornsday
It would fit the mostly Nordic naming scheme but still credit me as the creator.
Calcday, other days of the week are named after gods, so I would add some scientific touch: Calculus day
Sunday and Mo(o)nday are named after celestial bodies. Is astronomy not scientific enough for you?
The gods that the weekdays are named after also have associated planets, so really every day is named after a celestial body already.
Ex: Saturday is obviously Saturn Day, Thursday is Thor’s Day, with Thor being the equivalent of the Roman Jupiter, so Thursday is indirectly Jupiter Day, etc.Fair point, then the new weekday should be called Jeday.
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

Threesday, coming straight after Twosday.
In Portuguese is kind like that: Domingo 2a feira 3a feira 4a feira 5a feira 6a feira Sábado
Cool, so loosely translated 1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day, 4th day, 5th day, Saturday, Sunday?? That is amazing, confusing maybe, but amazing!
Starday. Comes after monday
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.
Transday - to piss off the bigots.
EATTHERICHDAY
Nesday. Before Wednesday just to be awkward
Baconday
A special day in celebration of celery. 🤣🥓
I’d bring back Logsday.
This is the only correct answer; we had another day and it was taken from us.
Daylast, primarily to screw up that stupid “Day ending in a y” joke.
Tinnyday. Comes before or after Wednesday depending on daylight savings, encourages a beer or a wine (or whatever beverage of your choosing) to relax. Business hours the following day do not start until 10am.
Delivery fees from online retailers are ineligible to charge delivery fees, local food orders must include a free canned beverage, people working in entertainment venues get double time.
