Monday's the second day for me.

Big deal.  If someone's so touchy that they'd get offended at the wrong
day being called first, then there'd be no way to satisfy them.  I
consider Sunday first, but it's not like I couldn't get used to calling
it the seventh day!

In Portuguese, Monday is _Segunda Feira_ "Second Day"

But the problem there is that we'd be tying the week to a specific work
week.  What if that changes, so that people begin working four-day
weeks, or begin working six-day weeks?

But these names would be for the Gregorian calendar ... so what's the
problem with lunar calendars?
