Name day

A name day is a tradition in many countries in Europe and Latin America that consists of celebrating the day of the year associated with one's given name.

Finland also has name day. when I was in Finland, I took a calender from school. And I saw many names under the day. So I knew about it.

Finns celebrate their name days (or nimipäivä) according to their given name on the date given by the calendar published by the University of Helsinki Almanac Office (Almanakkatoimisto). Every day except New Year's Day, Christmas Day and February 29 is a name day. For each day there are names in both Finnish and Swedish; the names are frequently, but not always, cognates.

This picture found Naver blog was taken maybe two years ago because I didn't find other calenders. Anyway in this picture, you can see the name! I also can't see exactly but that is the Finnish calender. ^^;

If Korea has name day, it will be very fun! But we have many different kinds of name. Maybe some of people don't have name day. I think my name(Eunji) is very usual. So I want to my name day. :D
