Do you know of a fantasy setting where the days of the week have the same names as they do in the real world, and that isn't just a fantasy version of the real world? Did you read a story taking place in that setting, and how did you feel about the names for the days?
My story is taking place in a setting that's in roughly the same time period as the present day real world, but which differs in many other aspects. People have regular five day work weeks and two day weekends. I've referenced the weekend already, but I've so far avoided naming any of the days.
I'm now pondering whether to just copy the names of the days from the real world or whether to come up with my own names. What will it do for the immersion if the characters talk about what they're going to do on Monday as opposed to Gruelsday?
