|  That's so true Riia. Except the whole changing the name part. How is it shame on me?  Eventually I'll ask someone... I see no need for it at the moment. __________________ Somewhere behind the athlete you've become, the hours of practice, the coaches who pushed you, the teammate who believed in you, the fans who cheered for you, is the little girl who flipped around the living room, fell in love with the sport, and never looked back. | |||

| Today 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. Women are slightly underrepresented in the calendar: approximately 45 per cent of name days celebrate only women while some 49 per cent are name days of men. The rest are those of names that may be given to either sex, such as Rauni (July 15th), or have both a man's and a woman's name, such as Oliver and Olivia (May 29th). Many traditional beliefs attach to various name days, especially involving the weather and the appropriate times to perform seasonal agricultural tasks such as planting some particular crop. For example there is a saying that "Jaakko (James) casts a cold rock into the water", meaning that on Jaakko's day, the 25th of July, the waters start getting colder, which is not far from true on average. The seven days from July 18th to 24th, being all women's name days, are known as the women's week. It is popularly believed to be an especially rainy week, and this is to some extent supported by statistics, as late July and early August are the rainiest time of the year in Finland. The Almanac Office reviews the lists every year, adding new names as they gain popularity and striking others that have faded into disuse. The university owns the copyright to the lists of names and their corresponding dates. Also known as a good reason to get drunk | |||
