You are creating a world and a society. Have faith in your choices and create your own names for months if you wish. What reason would your world have for having months named after Roman emperors? You could have your world follow a lunar year as that is more intuitive. New month, new moon. It is your world. As long as the paradigm holds, go for it. You can even rename the seasons, the reader will know that a harvest season is probably late summer and fall. We have artificial divisions of time based on religion, the industrial revolution and emperors your world never knew. One could say that authors need to be pretentious to carry off the world crafting and give the characters an appropriate setting and culture. Make it different and have fun doing it.
