Tradition of "Name Day" in Different Countries

by languages.eu

Name Day is a celebration of an individual's given name and has been a tradition in many cultures for centuries. For example, according to the Swedish name day list, today — February 5, it's the name day for Agata/Agda. Tomorrow it's for Dorotea, Doris, and so on.

It consists of celebrating a day of the year that is associated with one's baptismal name, which is normatively that of a biblical character or other saint. Where they are popular, individuals celebrate both their name day and their birthday in a given year. It has become less popular nowadays in certain countries and only grandparents celebrate the name days of their grandchildren.

Name Day tradition is a common practice in France 🇫🇷 even though it isn’t celebrated the same way as in other coloured countries above.

Historically, this was a tradition in all regions of Europe practicing Christianity, including Germany, Ireland, Denmark, and so on.

12th March 2024 // The Crown Princess family were out in force for the Crown Princess’s Name Day festivities. In Sweden, many names are attached to a specific date - often linked back to saints and religious feasts - and Victoria celebrates her Name Day every year with an appearance in the Royal Palace courtyard and a military display.

A Name Day

Summary: Captain Rex finds out it’s your Name Day.

Author’s Note: Captain Rex x Fem! Reader Birthday Fic. This includes two of my OCs from my Republic Intelligence squad: Tune and Moxie. Reader also has an OC mouse droid named Chirp. It gets a little sad at the end, but it’s mostly fluff and shenanigans.

Warnings: Swearing and I’m pretty sure that’s it.

Word Count: 1267

Thank you for reading!

Thank the maker for hot showers. You tune out the galaxy as you wash; this is the first time you have been alone in weeks. You love the two clones who help you with intelligence work; you truly did, but some peace and quiet was a nice change of pace.

However, today would not be peaceful for you and the same duo would be responsible.

***

“Moxie.” The clone commando doesn’t respond. He continues scrolling through the datapad for something specific.

“Moxie!?” Tune hisses a little too loudly. They froze, but neither hear the shower turn off.

“What?” Moxie turns to glare at the clone pilot. The squeak of the mouse droid beside Tune makes him groan in annoyance. While Tune wouldn’t tattle on him to you, Chirp would without a shadow of a doubt. The countless times in between missions the droid had tripped him told Moxie all he needed to know.

“What are you looking for?” Tune looks exasperated, having been looking forward to not thinking during leave. Stopping Moxie from snooping through their commanding officer’s datapad in her apartment was not a stressor he wanted to deal with.

“Captain Rex’s comm number.” Tune was taken aback by that answer.

“Why do you need that exactly?” Moxie rolls his eyes in response as he turns to continue scrolling. Chirp beeps impatiently and Moxie grits his teeth in response.

“It’s our Special Agent's Name Day.” Tune blinks, having not expected that from the brash and uncaring commando. Chirp gives a shriek in surprise and both clones quickly shush him.

“It’s her Name Day and if he hasn’t commed…” Tune thinks out loud before Moxie annoyedly finishes it.

“She obviously hasn’t told him or anyone else for that matter.” He grumbles, slumping back in the chair. He roughly slides a hand through his unruly red Mohawk as he turns to glare at the unhelpful datapad. “And I can’t find her kriffing comm or his comm number.”

“Why not just check his file back on base?” Tune resists the urge to rub his temple as he begins to take his own comm out.

“I totally didn’t think of that earlier.” Moxie huffs and waves him off like his suggestion was the dumbest idea ever. Tune considers strangling him right then and there for the fifth time that day. “She would be able to see I’d used it. Most of the vode are so lucky they don’t have to deal with all this intelligence bantha shit.”

“Well, if your gonna be an ass, you can find it on your own then.” The pilot snarks as he turns to leave. Moxie hops up immediately.

“Wait!? Come on!” As he moves to stop him, Moxie feels his boot snag on a too-familiar metal box. The mouse droid bursts into binary laughter as the commando barely catches himself on your kitchen counter. He growls as it sped away before Moxie could crush him.

Tune’s whole body was shaking with laughter, even under the larger soldier’s intimidating glare. He tosses him the comlink and Moxie quickly takes the info he needs.

“She gave it to me in case of emergencies.” He explains as Moxie tosses his comlink back. “And for all intents and purposes, I had nothing to do with this scheme of yours.”

“Who? Me? Scheme?” Moxie grins victoriously. “No clue what you mean.”

Tune rolled his eyes and left the apartment, content to hear about the aftermath later. He also needs to figure out what to give you for your Name Day.

“Not my circus, not my Kowakians.”

***

Rex was exhausted and he didn’t want to answer his comm. He does though.

“Captain Rex, sir.”

“Yes?” Rex slumps back in his office chair. He had been filling out holo documents on the most recent battles while on the way to the next one. “Who is this?”

“Moxie, Cardinal Squad's new heavy gunner.” The other man answers confidently and with a bit too much pride. Rex can remember you mentioning you had a new member on your team… who drove you insane. As you said in your own words, he is fantastic at his job, but makes you wanna pull your hair out.

Then he feels his stomach twist into knots. Was something wrong with you? If so, why hadn’t Tune contacted him? No, you were probably fine; he wouldn’t sound this upbeat if you were hurt.

“And I thought you should know that…”

“Moxie?” Rex immediately relaxes upon hearing your voice. “Why are you here? Is everything okay?”

He could then hear the rapid-fire beeping of your mouse droid along with the commando cursing. Then, it is deadly silent.

“Rex, hang up the comm.” Your voice rings out; it is quiet enough he can hear you take a step forward. He hears Moxie shuffle up to his feet in response.

“Don’t do that. I have something important to tell you.” Honestly, he was impressed Moxie kept going. His girl is intimidating when you cross her.

Then, it descends into madness. There are a bunch of muffled movements, Moxie laughing, and you demanding he give you the comm. Rex is pretty sure Moxie was holding the comlink up out of reach and you kept trying to fight the commando’s comparatively massive height. Kriff, he wishes the holo attachment was on these comlinks so he could see this; he barely holds in his laughter.

“Moxie, don’t you…”

“Today is her Name Day!”

“Moxie!?” You embarrassedly shriek as you finally get a hold of the comlink.

“I… what?” The captain wracks his brain, trying to remember if you had ever told him. Osik, he could not have forgotten your Name Day.

“She didn’t tell any of us, so don’t feel bad, sir.” He can hear Moxie’s grin in his voice before the sound of him being hit upside the head. Rex almost smirks at the accompanying ouch.

“I didn't tell you 'cause we were both busy! I didn’t want to be a bother. It wasn’t anything you did.” Rex half smiles as he hears your quick plea, not wanting him to misunderstand.

“And with everything going on with my homeworld, I…” You let your voice pitter out and it becomes clear to Rex why this would be hard for you. Your homeworld had been part of some of the first planets to join the Separatists a year ago; it makes sense that your Name Day would make you homesick.

“You don’t need to apologize. It’s your Name Day.” Rex said gently.

“But I do. I’m sorry.” Chirp gives a loud beep and he hears you curse under your breath.

“Yeah, you better run, Mox. You’re dead kriffing meat.” Rex tries to stop the laughter from escaping, but it does anyway. You smile from half a galaxy away, even if you’re still annoyed with the whole situation.

“I forgive you.” Your Captain says after a moment with a sigh. “Just know I want to celebrate you. It’s not a burden. So, please… um tell me things like that. Okay?”

You feel your face grow warm. It had been a while since he was obviously awkward talking with you.

“Alright. I promise.” You whisper and force yourself not to apologize again. You talk for a bit longer after about both your upcoming missions; you both stay on longer than you should, just enjoying each other's company.

But, of course, you’re both delaying the inevitable.

“I have to go.” His voice suddenly drains of energy, resigned.

“I know. Stay safe.”

“Same goes for you. Happy Name Day, Senaar.” He disconnects the comm call right after. You feel all warm and fuzzy, but your eyes sting.

A Game of Thrones, Jon III

Three days after their arrival, Jon had heard that Benjen Stark was to lead a half-dozen men on a ranging into the haunted forest.

That night he sought out his uncle in the great timbered common hall and pleaded to go with him. Benjen refused him curtly.

“This is not Winterfell,” he told him as he cut his meat with fork and dagger. “On the Wall, a man gets only what he earns. You’re no ranger, Jon, only a green boy with the smell of summer still on you.”

Stupidly, Jon argued.

“I’ll be fifteen on my name day,” he said. “Almost a man grown.”

Benjen Stark frowned. “A boy you are, and a boy you’ll remain until Ser Alliser says you are fit to be a man of the Night’s Watch.

“If you thought your Stark blood would win you easy favors, you were wrong. We put aside our old families when we swear our vows.

“Your father will always have a place in my heart, but these are my brothers now.” He gestured with his dagger at the men around them, all the hard cold men in black.

Today, we celebrate the name day of Leon and Mathilde (at least according to the Polish calendar).

Name days are celebrated in France as well, which explains a lot.

Thoughts about name day

Celebrating name day is a nice tradition. I love it because buying/gifting something little (eg chocolate or flower) for your friends/family members is a nice gesture. Also the fact that you know when someone’s name day is (at least in my opinion) shows that you care about them.

Anyway tomorrow is my name day (dead name) and I’m not looking forward it. It shouldn’t bother me if someone says happy name day but it makes me dysphoric because I don’t use that name. Some of my friends use my chosen name’s name day and it makes me feel loved.

Happy Name Day To Me <3

A great many years ago, I was born \o/ (and there was much rejoicing!) - my parents gave me a name and raised as best as they could and one day I realized my name was going to have to go.

I had never liked it, and I even now I don't hate it, but it wasn't ever Quite Right.

So three years ago today I stood before a judge and said "This name is ill-fitting, I got this one tailored made, please accept." and he did! (and there was much rejoicing!)

Me and my name are glad we're here - I'm Quin, it's a pleasure to meet you!

Ask me anything today! If you're on Wattpad - Follow me (I'm almost to 100 followers and I'm going to give stuff away when I hit it =D Arts and Words galore!)

I'm going to celebrate today by writing more words and eating sushi cause these are a few of my favorite things <3

And if you're not having an awesome day like me - then I hope it improves! Everyone deserves to have good days ^_^ <3

#hey hey it's my name day #name day #the loki in my user name has nothing to do with that Loki #yay name day!
