Personally, I would go for naming them after the twelve largest moons in the solar system, since they were originally (and still are in many cultures) based on the lunar cycles, giving the months Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, etc.

What would you rename the months?

      I’ll second the IFC. My only addition would be that the Year Day and the Leap Day are mandatory holidays: fucking everything except critical utility infrastructure shift/on-call work (police, fire, power/water/sewage, etc) is closed. Employers must not require an employee to work consecutive Year or Leap Days.

        You know what… I’ve never seen this before, but I fully endorse this solution. This is mostly what we already have in place, but favoring consistency rather than flattering Roman emperors.

        For those who didn’t know,

        • August - named after Augustus Caesar
        • July - named after Julius Caeser Also, a few others are named after Roman gods. It’s cool, but not super relevant to anyone today.

        If you edit your comment to enclose the link in square brackets and an exclamation point at before the open bracket it will show the image.

          Thanks! I’m not gonna edit it on my cell. If anyone wants to, go for it! I don’t own the image, I just thought it was relevant
