No. Name days are actually celebrated more than birthdays here.
Mine is on 26th December
What a wacky idea!
Is it
coincidence that Istvan's day on 26th December is also St Stephen's Day?
(That's as in
"On the Feast of Steeeephen").

Don't think so.
V Catholic is Magyarorszag, so no coincidence at all.

And the moon shone brightly - but unfortunately, the frost was crrruuu-el
OK I'll stop now

If you order that in a german pub you'll get just what you expect. We even spell it slike that.
To the unenlightened: Pronounce it as "Shnupps".
Oh, btw: I like the hungarian name for Jul. 9th.
