"What is Name Day?
 It is an old European tradition. Every day of the year is someone's Name
 Day. People all across Europe have been celebrating their first names for
 centuries in the same way you celebrate your birthday."

Alphabetic listings to look up names:

The site only lists the 1800 most popular first names in USA and Canada.
Normally it's the feast day of a saint whose name one bears, but the web
site has found "appropriate" days on the calendar for people without names
having a feast day.
