Finnish:
oak month (or central month if you don't use current meaning of the word)
pearl month
ground month
clearing the forest of trees for field month
planting seed month
summer month (or plowing month by original meaning)
hay harvesting month
grain harvesting month
autumn month
muddy month
death month
yule month
As a Scandinavian who wasn't familiar with Finish month names... Yeah, death month is a much more accurate name than November. Ugh.
Finnish month names are pretty damn descriptive. Before we had Yule Month we had Winter Month as December.
