Tuesday means the day of Tır, the old Icelandic god of war.
Wednesday means the day of Woden (Óğinn), the old Icelandic Head god.
Thursday means the day of Thor, the old Icelandic god of thunder.
Friday means the day of Frige (Frigg), the old Icelandic Head goddess.
Saturday means the day of Saturn, a old Roman god.

Icelanders stopped calling the days by pagan names in the early middle ages...
I find it quite amusing that you still do

You are correct that those are what the names originated as, but that does not mean keeping those words in use is a form of pagan worship. If you want to make it that way, there are tons of words in the English language that originate from other languages, in fact, the entire English language is based on different languages. What your saying is that using a word from another society means you are following what that society did. Thats untrue. That would be like saying oh you use the word taco, you must be mexican. God gave us the days of the week, it doesnt matter how we named them, as long as we follow his word
