I think the number names are not so problematic for months
(even though there are other calendars that don't start in 
January, but then the months lengths are also different, I 
believe).

But for days of the week things are more confusing. Not
everybody agrees which day is day 1. I believe Russian
and Portuguese for example both use numbers for the
names of the days, but they don't agree on where to start
the count.

That's why I like the proposed system:

soldei Sun-day
lurdei Moon-day
fagdei Fire-day
jaurdei Water-day
mudydei Wood-day
jimdei Metal-day
tedydei Earth-day
