Name Day(like a birthday but not[no giveaway{yes,really}]).

Open

It will be my Name Day soon! Hooray for me! So as a celebration you've got a chance to win up to 3 games! Don't get overexcited yet, all were bundled but on the other hand none of them is particularly bad which is something, right?

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. The custom originated with the Christian calendar of saints: believers named after a saint would celebrate that saint's feast day.

Sorry for no potato option in the poll, I'm genuinely interested in the unbiased outcome. :/

I'm not a spokesman of the Icelandic people but they were christianized back then in 10-13th century. I'm not doing a statements here but maybe it was the other way round and they adapted it with the sentiment for their old gods or something like that.

I don't think so but hey, I'm no historian so you may be right.

Happy nameday, it's called a "imieniny" in Poland and some people (especially older) like to celebrate rather a nameday than a birthday, I presume because birthday give you an impression of time flying by and getting you older.
