That is great and I did not know Finland had name days. I hope name days in your country traditions continue will into the future.

In Poland, people celebrate their name day but I think that once had a greater significance than today.

Here in Croatia for Name Day people usually just congratulate if they remember.
My is on Valentine's day so a lot of people do remember, as well as for those who are named after St.Catherine, St. Nicholas, St. Joseph,etc.. But some people celebrate, I don't..

I think it is more family related. Some families do celebrate and some don't. We do.
