Shoulda went with Norse gods tbh.

Planet Thor

Planet Odin

Badass

They already have the days of the week.

Sol's Day
Mani's Day
Tyr's Day
Woden's Day
Thor's Day
Frigg's Day


Eh, some of them.

Sunday is actually derived from German which was translated from Latin (and literally means "day of the sun").

"Monday" is from "Mona", not "Mani" (also no relationship to any gods, just a translation from the Latin).

And Saturday comes from Saturn.

I do wish we had badass month names like they have in Ukrainian.
