Imieniny or “name day”, the feast day of the saint for whom someone is named.

This should prevent people from being given silly names like you see in the credits of Hollywood films.
I mean, who calls their son River? (No offence meant by that, of course).

There was never a St. Britney! Kylie for sainthood, anyone? (Mayeb Feb 29th - so it doesn't clash with any pre-existing ones).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_name .. explains it here but it is celebrate same as a birthday if not more so.

If you have ever seen a Polish calendar, you may have noticed that each day of the year has a name on it. Names appear on almost every Polish calendar and indicate what is called imieniny or “name day”, the feast day of the saint for whom you are named. Poles over the age of thirteen usually celebrate their imieniny, rather than their birthdays (urodziny).
In Poland, name days are a special time for family and friends to gather. Sometimes friends and family simply stop by to wish the person celebrating their name day Wszystkiego najlepszego! (All the best!) and Sto lat! (A hundred years!). If gifts are given, they are usually small. Most often, guests bring flowers or chocolates, whether it be for a man or a woman. Sometimes people bring vodka and share a drink or two!

They arent members names .... they are the first names of any polish person who celebrates their polish name day on that given day if you watch tomorrow they will be different
