I have, occasionally, thought that (for example) October = 8th month because it starts with "Octo".

Yes, I know, historically it was.

That would be cool. So June would be Hexember, Hexober, or Hexuabry. January would be odd though - Mono-vember.

Not quite - they're off by two. Historically July and August were Quintilis (fifth) and Sextilis (sixth) before they were renamed in terms of Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar.
