I quite frankly oppose the use of "solmonth", as there are no grounds to support it. Sure there was "Sol-monaþ" in Old English, but it meant "Mudmonth", which could be one possibility. Even if we don't want to use the word "mud", why do we use a word that doesn't exist in Modern English, apart from the Latin loanword "sol", which is easily avoidable? Therefore, I think the only logical option would be the traditional name used even in Modern English: "Horningmonth" Padraig 28.06.2006
