| Title | Saints’ Names and Historical Background on French Names |
| Body | An FLTEACH user gives the following background and useful link for Saints’ Days: In many European countries, they celebrate their birthdays, but also celebrate their "Name Days". In fact, they are more likely to get a gift from their parents on their name day than on their actual birthday. These are the days on the official calendar of saints... the day of their name. Here is a site of all the saints names on the calendar: http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/month00.htm Flaugher, D. Catholic Name Days - Fete Days. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 29 May 2007). --- Another FLTEACH user contributes more links giving background on French legal restrictions on names: Check out the current legislation: http://www.franceloisirs.com/catalogue/produit-344509.html?channelName=PARENF . This explanation includes an overview of the history of the law, the influence of the revolution and of Napoleon, examples of some of the "excesses" that resulted in additional restrictions.
