What are the 365 names of gods named for each day of the year based on the Gegorian calendar?

I don't think each day is named after a god, especially since the Gregorian calendar was commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII, head of the Roman Catholic Church. However, Pope Gregory kept the names of the months of the Julian calendar, some of which are named after Roman gods.
Additionally:
The days of the year [regardless of the calendar] are repeated in the seven-day weekly cycle, given to man by his Creator in the beginning.
God only gave one of these a name, the "seventh day" [the Sabbath {rest}day], whereby man might "remember" creation and that he is made in his Creator's image. The other six days He merely numbered; i.e.:
"In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week... (Matt.28:1). [The first day of the week "remembers" God's first day of creation. To Him, it's the first workday of the week, which we call Sunday today; "...six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work..." - Ex.20:9]"
Man's subsequent choice to obey the god of this world, instead of his Creator, brought about the desire to give the days of the weekly cycle names dedicated to some of his most popular gods... instead of just mere numbers.
Thereby, perhaps, was even God's seven-day weekly cycle preserved in the midst of man's rebellion against Him -- as seven names are much easier to remember than to try to remember 365 of his thousands of different gods.
1) Sunday; the Sun's day: 2) Monday; Luna, Moon'sday: 3) Tuesday; Theseus' day: 4) Wednesday; Woden's day: 5) Thursday; Thor's day: 6) Friday; Friedan or Friatag's day: 7) Saturday; Saturn's day.
So, although every day of our 365-day year calendar has a variation of a name of one of man's once-[and possibly, still] popular gods -- there are only seven of those gods that were chosen and repeated throughout the year.

The names of the months in the Jewish calendar in the order they appear: Nissan, Iyar, Sivan, Tamuz, Av, Elul, Tishrei, Cheshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat, Adar (I and II). The Georgian calendar is based on the solar year, while the Jewish (and Muslim) calendar is based on the lunar year; therefore, correlation of holy days can only be done on an annual basis.
What calendar did Romans use?
The Romans had three calendars in the ocurse of their history. The first calendar was the calendar of Romulus, the first king of Rome. It had only ten months. The second calendar was the calendar of Numa, named after Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, who added two months, bringing it to 12 months. Both of these calendars were lunar. Julius Caesar undertook a major reform of the calendar, introducing a solar calendar. It is Called the Julian calendar. Apart from some changes for refinement introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, it is the calendar we still use today. Because of the changes it is now called the Gregorian calendar. The names we use for the months are derived from the names in the Julian Calendar. July is derived form Julius. This month was named after Julius Caesar. August is derived from Augustus. This month was named after Augustus. September, October, November and December mean 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th month (In Latin septem is 7, octo is 8, novem is 9 and decem is 10). This is because the Roman year started in March and therefore these months were the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th.

What day do Seventh-day Adventists keep in countries using the ISO calendar?
The ISO calendar is primarily a fiscal calendar and does not change the names of the days of the week, although it does number them differently, starting with 1 on Monday and ending with 7 on Sunday, however Monday on the ISO calendar is also the same Monday on the Gregorian calendar (day 2) and the same Monday that is on the Jewish calendar. Shabbot (or Saturday) does not change. It is still on the same day. But all that is really not relevant, as the keeping of Shabbot is based on the command in the Torah which is based on the Hebrew calendar. So it would not matter what calendar was in use by any country, even if it did mess with the definition of the week, the Hebrew calendar remains the same.
How were the names of the week named?
Wednesday is named for the Norse god Odin, Thursday is named after the god Thor, Friday is named after the god Frigg or Freya, Tuesday is named after the god Tyr. All of these are based on a Latin version with Roman gods.
