"Tiw" should be an alternate for "Tyr" (Tiw's Day) just like "Frigg" is for "Frey".

I was typing "Tiu" for Tyr. It's the Old English name. Not sure if you want to accept or not.

"Frigg" should be the only thing accepted for Friday, actually. "Frigg" and "Frey" are two different gods. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday#Etymology
