Since the 12th month is December, a 13th month should obviously be called Undecember (the undec- prefix meaning 11 in Latin).

Better yet, just stick the new month in the middle of the calendar, but don't rename the months that have numbers in their name. It already worked once (thanks, Romans).

Why not just use Tredecember since it the thirteenth month the twelfth month can become Duodecember and not december.

What about another month after May called Maytoo?

[–] pturn1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hendecember. We could also move Easter and Xmas to both be in that month.

Why not Eightuary, let's keep the trend of bad naming going!

After the revolution, the French came up with some poetic and meaningful (if you live north of the Tropic of Cancer) names for months. We could use those.
