Greek name days
in reply to a message by Patty
As far as I can tell, there isn't a Greek name day for Daphne. (The name does have a French name day in October.) However, there is a Greek name day in March for Laurentiou which has the same meaning as Daphne. (Frankly, I find it a little strange because Laurentiou is a Latin-based name.)Is is possible that your daughter could have a baptismal name with a similiar meaning while retaining her original/legal name? I did find a website that has an email address you can write to about saint names.http://www.in2greece.com/english/saints/saints.htm
