Personally I'd go with 13 months of 4 weeks each.

The only issue I see would be if you were born on a Monday your birthday would always be on a Monday.

Do you have an extra bonus day at the end that doesn’t belong to any week?
Make that the transition day.
And leap years get more complicated.
It's just another day isn't it?
Well if you want to keep the whole number of weeks thing, you are then doing a leap week every 7 years except for multiples of 28, or something like that. Or if you want to keep each week same number of days maybe a leap month.

Of course none of this is unheard of. The jewish calendar adds a leap month every 19 years to keep in sync with both the moon and the sun. Or if you want to go in the other direction you could just have one day not part of any week (cotsworth calendar)

Sure, but what weekday would it have? Would we have a repeated Sunday there?
We’ll call it KeplerBoy day in your honor, a new unique day.
I'd like Keplerday. Seems appropriate.
