Good morning, welcome to our series sharing Unique Holidays: February 13th, 2022. Today is Get a different name day and I must tell you I don’t think my parents had much imagination when naming my brother and myself as they named us after themselves. Which gets confusing at times. If I was younger, I would change my name. Before you ask me to what I am not sure. If you could pick my new name out, what would you choose and why? Also, would you change your name if you could?
Get a Different Name Day– always on February 13th.
Get a Different Name Day is for those who are not fond of the name given to them. At birth, we are given a first name, a middle name and a last name. The name we were given wasn’t our choosing. Our parents named us. If you like your name, good for you.
If you do not like your name, then get a different name is for you. Take advantage of today to change your name.
If you change your name, don’t forget to update your stationary and you will need to notify family and friends about your new name.

National Wingman Day– holiday is always on February 13th,
I have a question for you. Have you ever been a Wingman for a lonely, single buddy as he went out in search of his true love? Many of us have been in this role at some point. Which is fitting that National Wingman Day exists to give recognition to the that invaluable buddy, as true a friend as there will ever be the friend who plays a very important and diverse role in helping other guys find and keep the woman of their dream. This is a day of recognition and thanks. It’s a day off from regular wingman duties, freeing him to seek love himself.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a Wingman as “a male friend who helps, accompanies and supports a man in some activity”. This support doesn’t have to be for romantic endeavors, but it often is. A Wingman can provide assistance in any of a number of ways. The wingman is a cheer leader, a coach, a counselor and more. The Wingman is the unsung hero, who helps to navigate the ways of love. The wingman “has your back” and is an advisor on how and what to do or not do in a romantic relationship. Importantly, the Wingman is always talking you up when the girls are around, as if you are the most incredible guy on the planet. The wingman is always watching out for your best interest.
Celebrate this Holiday with your wingman and take him out for lunch or drinks. If your wingman is single, do a role reversal and be his wingman today.
A wingman can also be a dog. As my son experienced the dating scene, he found that the ladies were attracted to his cute dog. My son described his dog as the “greatest wingman ever”, because he met many ladies this way.
The term “Wingman” originated in the military. In the air force, a wingman is the pilot in the plane behind you that has you back.
History and Origin of National Wingman Day:
This holiday was created in 2016 by Bruce J. Novotny of Bandon, Or. The date of February 13th was selected to be strategically the day before Valentine’s Day. On this Holiday we celebrate all of the Wingmen out there for all the unselfish support they provide.
We found no Presidential Proclamation or Act of Congress making this a true “National” day.
Superbowl Sunday – Superbowl 56, date varies
Future Super Bowls:
February 6, 2022 Super Bowl LVI will be held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California
February 5, 2023 Super Bowl LVII will be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona
Every NFL Football team wants to get to the “Party”, The “Big Game”, the Super Bowl! Only one team leaves with the victory and a Super Bowl ring telling the world they are the greatest football team in the world.
Millions of people around the world hold or attend the “Big Party” at bars, party houses, and in their living rooms. Super Bowl Sunday is the second biggest snack day of the year. Second only to, you guessed it, New Year’s Eve. Sit down and watch the Superbowl. Even casual sports fans watch the Superbowl. After all, watching the ads and the super Half-time show, are as much a part of the game as the game itself. Many spouses readily admit, they watch the Superbowl just to see the ads.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
