His favourite day was Thursday thus its said he named it after himself. Personally I think its his followers or worshipers special day of worship much like the Sabbath observed by Hebrew groups and by some select Christian communities such as Seventh Day Adventist or on Sunday as many in the Christian community adopted.


You have it backwards. Thursday is named after Thor. The Scandinavians named six of the seven days after their Gods.
