I feel I have a simple name. It never dawned on me to ask my parents why they chose the name for m that they did. I don't know if there was ever a Saint named after me. I don't it. I know in many cultures, many first names are linked with days of the year. Nameday is the result of such thinking: primarily because the church held a festival for a saint of a specific name on a specific day.

A naming day is a time to embrace your name or child's name. It is about learning something so simply forgettable about us. We delve in our characters through our names and come to an understanding about ourselves. So isn't it about time that you went out and found out when your naming day is, and then let those close to you celebrate with you in happy informal occasion filled with presents? It is afterall like a second birthday.
