We name months, after all. The difference is that our months don't directly correspond to the phases of the Moon.
Actually, I just read a book called Tex and Molly in the Afterlife that mentioned various names for the full Moon a few times. I'm not sure whose names for them they were using, though in pretty much every case, they mentioned that somebody else called it something else.
