Today is my girlfriend's Anna name day

Hey everbody, today is my girlfriend Anna's name day. I am away from her at the moment and can't be with her. In reading about name days it seems that most people celebrate them more than they do their birthdays once they reach a certain age. She says it's nothing really important or special but I can sense something in her voice, that maybe it's more important to her than she's letting on. Do you guys recommend anything special or sweet I could say to her, maybe in a text message? We talk on the phone everyday and of course I will tell her something then but I want to send her a message in the morning before she goes to work.

Anna should be tomorrow :)

Unless it's the AM there of course :)

Yes it is.

Its 02:21 in Germany so technically its tomorrow for you but today for us..

I would suggest flowers, interflora

yeah yeah yeah :)

smooth....flowers and some chocolate should be good :)

It is 321 am where I am at right now.

damn are you in Russia? Poland is only 6 hrs from the US.

Yes you are right and it's that time also in Poland. But at the moment I am not in Germany I'm in Bahrain until the end of September.


I gave her flowers back on her birthday which was in June but I think it may be too late to get her anything now. I will have to go and look. I thought about getting her a necklace that has her name on one side and on the other is her name in Arabic. They are popular where I am at right now. But I couldn't find a design that I liked and she seemed like it was nothing special, but now the more I think about it the more I think I should get her something.

This was the first I have ever heard of such a day. Very interesting and a fun thing to know to share with others. :)

Haha as far east as Russia yes but I am down south in the Persian Gulf on an Island called Bahrain.

Ahh...I was in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi when I was in the navy. Having fun?

Im sure a simple text off you to say you are thinking about her on her name day will make her happy, maybe get her the bracelet as a gift for when you come home.

and.... Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji Imienin :)

Yes on Polish calendars there are names for every day and they are in honor and in memory of patron saints.

Yeah this place is really not so bad. I have to been to far worse places when I was in Pakistan. It is really humid here though now, it's like it's raining but there isn't a cloud in the sky. It feels like a sauna!!!

Nah I had fun. Spent more time in Dubai though. Bahrain was just our mail stop :)

Good luck with your greetings to your sweetie.

Now that you say that, I remember my grandma bringing up hers, I guess I'll just read over all those names... ;) Thanks for the link.

Thanks! :-)



No problem :-)

Thanks for the idea. I ordered her some flowers. They're going to be delivered to her at work tomorrow. She's going to be so surprised!!!
