Thanks Sonia. Again they are all Northern Hemisphere/European/American cultural names (See Acropolites post) .

We Aussies don't seem to have been around long enough to develop a culturally based lunar cycle naming system. Many of the names I've come across are based on names and traditions that can be many hundreds of years old.
