Lunatic Names

Do you get Full Moon Fever? According to Space.com, lunatic is number one of the Top 10 Luna-Terms.
Full Moon names date back to Native Americans, of what is now the northern and eastern United States. Those tribes of a few hundred years ago kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to each recurring full Moon.
These are the full moon names for 2005, derived from native traditions:
  • The Full Wolf Moon -- January 25

  • The Full Snow Moon -- February 23

  • The Full Worm Moon -- March 25

  • The Full Pink Moon -- April 24

  • The Full Flower Moon -- May 23

  • The Full Strawberry Moon -- June 22

  • The Full Buck Moon -- July 21

  • The Full Sturgeon Moon -- August 19

  • The Full Harvest Moon -- September 17

  • The Full Hunter’s Moon -- October 17

  • The Full Beaver Moon -- November 15

  • The Full Cold Moon -- December 15
European settlers followed their own lunar customs with crazy names. As a lunatic from the Great White North, I'm especially looking forward to getting some beaver tail in the nation's capital during The Full Beaver Moon, which is sometimes translated as The Full Moon Beaver because of our two official languages.
