names of months in Thai

Do the names of the Thai months have any meaning? It seems to me that the long names such as กรกฎาคน or พฤศจิกายน must have some meaning apart from just the name of the month itself.
For exemple, in old Russian language we had the names which meant 'a windy month' or 'a month when the leaves were falling'. Perhaps, there is something similar in Thai?

Besides, can you name a person using a month name? I'm sure I've heard names เมษา and สิงหา. But probably they just sound the same and are written in a different manner?

Thanks in advance for your help!

priviat!!

the months in Thai are base on the 12 гороскоп ( 12 Horoscope )
yeah, we Thai, like to have name with the months too. and all the months are possible to be taken as name. as you had mention สิงหา เมษา and the rest could be use for names too. :) and 99% is surely that person who own the name must born on that month or relate to his/her own horoscope for auspicious into their lives.
