Premonday, Octay
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
Bring Modsday back
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.
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.
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.
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
EATTHERICHDAY
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!
Bjornsday
It would fit the mostly Nordic naming scheme but still credit me as the creator.
I’m gonna make it the only day that doesn’t end in Y, It will be called Satyrd’eh.
Smatterday. You can do whatever you want, because nothing smatters on Smatterday.
