It’s a shame that the months in English don’t really have descriptive names like in other languages.

Polish (and other Slavic languages) for example, has some interesting ones:

- February (Luty) comes from “bleak, harsh, bitter”

- April (Kwiecień) is “month of flowers”

- August (Sierpień) is “month of the sickle,” as in the harvest time

- November (Listopad) is “month of leaves falling”

[Markoff]

The non descriptive names are better because they can be consistent across different countries not depending climate

July in Croatian - Srpanj August in Czech/Polish - Srpen/Sierpen

because for obvious reasons harvest time in Croatia is one month earlier than in Czechia

though your example for April in Polish makes no sense

April in Polish - Kwiecien May in Czech - Kveten

I'm pretty sure flowers are blooming (it's not about flowers, but about blooming) in Czechia earlier than in Poland, so the names should be reversed

though even English/German/Slovak months are not without their issues, October should be eight, November ninth, December tenth based on their Latin names, this video makes fun about it, but honestly I seriously like the proposed system:

The French Republican calendar used a few years after the revolution was also in this spirit. However these names do not export well across the world, notably a problem when as a colonial power like France you export your language and customs.
