  Okay, this time, an actually SERIOUS proposal which just occurred to
me as I was going to get a soda.  It answers the objections to the
previous systems... 1) it is culturally neutral, AFAIK 2) it is
rational, as it relates the members of one  ordered seven-cycle to
another ordered seven cycle.  Here is my proposal:

xundei, najdei, peldei, ri'odje, cicnydei, bladei, zirdei

 I suggest for the sake of cultural neutrality, making the cycle start
so that zirdei be Tuesday, since I was born on Tuesday and purple is
my favorite color. If I was culturally un-neutral, I'd say xunday is
Sunday, since that's the "start" for both cycles....
