Levena is what the moon is called in Avlis it seems (source).
The Aquilan Calendar is composed of 10 months of 28 days and two seasons who's combined length is 85 days with 1-2 adjustment days giving a 365 day year. This calendar has been in use for about 2100 years.
The months are named as follows: Harmonilun (Harmony) --TN Honorlun (Honor) -- LG Caritatilun (Benevolence) -- NG Libertatilun (Liberation) -- CG Officilun (Duty) --TN Imperium (Imperial) -- The Empire Licentilun (Freedom) --CN Glorilun (Glory) --LE Egolun (Self) --NE Nihilun (Anarchy) --CE
The season of Harper's Dusk begins after the month of Nihilun on the moon nearest the Hibernal Solstice. Half way between the Hibernal Solstice & Vernal Equinox is when the season changes to the season of Spring Maidens Dawn. After which, it is Harmonilun again (which corresponds to late March in the real world calendar)
Some moon name proposals: A fairy moon is the second new moon of a solar month. This moon phase, also known as a black moon is comparable (and opposite) to a blue moon. The Hunter's Moon (also known as Blood Moon or Sanguine Moon) is the first full moon after the Harvest moon, which is the full moon nearest the Autumnal equinox. The Harvest Moon is the full moon nearest to the autumnal equinox. Blue moon is also a name given to the third full moon of four during a given season.
For clarity I'll use real world months to propose alternate moon names.
January /Old Moon /Wolf Moon /Ice Moon
February /Wolf Moon /Snow Moon /Hunger Moon, Storm Moon
March /Worm Moon /Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Sugar Moon, Sap Moon, Chaste Moon
April / Egg Moon /Pink Moon (the Rhissaserk moon?) /Sprouting Grass Moon, Fish Moon, Seed Moon, Waking Moon
May /Milk Moon /Flower Moon /Corn Planting Moon, Corn Moon, Hare's Moon
June /Flower Moon /Strawberry Moon /Rose Moon, Hot Moon, Planting Moon
July /Hay Moon /Buck Moon /Thunder Moon, Mead Moon
August /Grain Moon /Sturgeon Moon /Red Moon, Green Corn Moon, Lightning Moon, Dog Moon
September /Fruit Moon / Harvest Moon / Corn Moon, Barley Moon
October /Harvest Moon / Hunter's Moon / Travel Moon, Dying Grass Moon, Blood Moon
November /Hunter's Moon /M'chekian Wild Beaver Moon /Frost Moon, Snow Moon
December /Oak Moon /Cold Moon / Frost Moon, Long Night's Moon
