Months have a pretty dumb naming system

[recursivelyenumerable]

They start by commemorating a bunch of Roman gods and emperors nobody cares about anymore, then they suddenly switch to using numbers, only they're the wrong numbers. They should just be Month 1, Month 2, etc like in Japanese.

I think you ought to be more stoic on this naming system.  Is it that time of your ninth month?

Umber, Dumber, Trumber, Qumber, Fember, Cimber, Sember, Ember, Number, Tumber, Untumber, Undumber.

because there were originally 10 months and september was seven, october was eight, november was nine and december was ten.

imo all months should be renamed after anime chars anyway, this month would be Shinjitaurus

What if people cared about the names of the months. That'd be something.

It was the same guy who created Wednesday. The guy was a major deviant.

[Madrun Badrun]

I could see the Wednesday guy making a month where every four years you have the possibility of working an extra day.  I bet he became a bit of a rising star in the company after his Wednesday idea, and then feel into a slump for years;  depression and lost potential after not being able to follow up Wednesday with anything.  People under him -- younger than him -- getting promoted above him; career stagnation, until one morning he wakes up suddenly and whispers 'February'.  He makes an executive position the next quarter.

I like the Aramaic calendar they use in the Levant because one of the months is nii-san.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

It actually drives me up the wall because December and January have 2 word names and the first word in both names is the same. Also like 40% of the months have similar names to months in the Hebrew calendar.
