Does anyone else celebrate their name day? I don’t think all cultures have a name day. Today was mine, as well as one or two more here.

It’s basically celebrating the day of the year that is linked to your given name. It was a big thing with my Greek friends.

I guess it will depend on where your name comes from if it appears on the list.

According to that 11 March for me
Seems we share a name day
TIL that may name day is 3 December.
Now the important question - Do you get presents on your name day?

Whoa… I completely missed this topic. Thanks for the random necro, @czc 
. It’s actually really interesting.
My name day is 24 June.
Two questions:
^ This very important question was never answered. Folks who celebrate name days: Do you give/receive presents on your name day?
- What happens if your parents decide to give you a name like Anakin or Kahlan? Do they also get to choose a name day for you?
