Hi! I am trying to figure out the dates that people celebrate Name Days for "Anna" and "Stanislawa" in southern Poland.
I have discovered (I think) that the Name Day for Anna is celebrated in Poland on July 26th, but have found so many varying dates for Stanislawa/Stanislaw/Stanislaus etc.
Can anyone clarify what day Poles celebrate the Name Day of "Stanislawa"?
Thank you so much in advance!

There's a Polish edition of the Epoch Times' editorial book How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World, along with a German edition whose new parts are added on Wednesdays and weekends. The book is by the same folks behind the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, for which there's also a Polish translation.
For those who are curious, here's the original version in Chinese.
I end this with a testimony on the book from a Falun Dafa practitioner: http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2018/12/3/173493.html
"I really struggled to start reading it. I was very reluctant to start and didn’t immediately recognize that the reluctance wasn’t me. A city practitioner kindly encouraged me, and we have been reading it together online and supporting each other through the process.
While reading, I felt invisible barriers I needed to break through and bad elements being eliminated. I was surprised how much communist thought I unknowingly had, as I’m a Westerner born in the late 60s."

I was digging in my mother's and grandmother's old family documents and discovered my ancestor, Paul N., who was born in 1902 in Wisconsin, USA, didn't have the -ski part of his father's last name. His last name ends with -ska for some reason. Otherwise it's identical to his father's last name.
Is this common?
Why does it happen?
I thought polish men's last names ended with -ski.

My grandmother used a lot of what we think are Polish words when talking to my cousins and I. No one ever thought to ask her for translations and she's long since passed away. What are these words? What do they mean?? Please forgive my terrible attempt to spell these words.
Doopa - If you don't stop messing with that, I'm gonna smack your doopa!
Doogna - You tucked your skirt into your tights? You're such a doogna!
Flanya - She's so dramatic and prissy. What a flanya!
