The Naming of Moons in June

Moon of strawberries, June (reference in Hiawatha, but also the Alonquin tribe)
Rose Moon, as this is the time of year when the roses bloom profusely

I still reckon you can name your moons as you wish, as there are so many refernces in many different cultures describing a local activity, usually a natural or agricultural occurence (which reoccurs each year and is hence cyclical). Other June Moon names include Blood Moon & Buck Moon.
