I haven't came up with names for days yet. As for months due to my MC being a Terran her attitude is Let's call tenth month "October" because close enough

On my planet, the year is ambiguous and the number of days in it varies +-5 days. That's why people there celebrate the New Year after the snow melts. And they count the seasons by signs. Because of this, there are no months there.

Notice: Maybe I will do with months, but probably not with days. Its confusing.

So far it hasn't come up. I did have months and days renamed for my world (as each month has five weeks of seven days each, and there are two other festival days not in the sequence; each season lasts three months exactly, and there is an extra day between Autumn and Winter, and between Spring and Summer, with one other day showing up every one hundred years, and adding to the Winter Festival Day), but haven't used them in so long I'm not sure I can find those files (or, honestly, need them).

I generally use seasons without months or weeks. So the date is just stated in terms of the season, i.e. 72nd of spring or something. Slightly different from real life. But still pretty easy to understand. Well, also because I just think organizing a calendar exclusively based on the equinoxes and solstices just makes intrinsic sense. Theres a particular tendency for my protagonists birthdays to be the first of spring, I've done that like three times now. ...I mean even in real life I specifically scheduled my life changing surgery to be on the spring equinox, its just kinda my day.
