Answer 2

Because seven ate nine (7,8,9)...so September became the ninth month!!!.

Answer 3

Because the Roman dictator Julius Caesar wanted July named after him and wanted it where it was at.

Answer 5

It wasn't Julius Caesar, although he would later reform the calendar himself. In 153 BC the Romans reformed the calendar and the months were adjusted as follows: Ianuarius, Februarius, Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Iunius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December. Quintilis was renamed for Julius Caesar in 44 BC and Sextilis for Augustus in 8 BC.
