In PC, Peter states the month is Greenroof in his letter to Miraz.
In VDT, someone says they could sail home from Ramandu's Island in March.

So does Narnia have its own calender or not? Or is this just an interesting discrepancy?

I hadn't noticed that! I wonder if there's a possibility of one system of naming is international, while the other is local?

I'd say the fancy naming is probably local while our "march" is international.

Maybe the Telmarines brought with them the names of the months which might be adopted by others, and the Narnians had their own names prior, hence the reason Peter uses them?

This always bugged me!! I have no theories whatsoever (for once). I wonder which month Greenroof is...

elecktrum on ff (not affiliated with TLC) has a whole Narnian naming system with equivalents, so I hear.

Yeah, I know; lotsa people use her naming system.

I vote for Norelle's suggestion.

*hasn't read the books in about a year* Guess who didn't notice this discrepancy?

I think it would be most likely (and super cool) if the Narnians had their own month-names and calendar (which so happens to coincide with our world's calendar - 12 months per year, so on); although I'm wondering how quickly the Pevensies would have caught on to that and gotten used to using it - I would think that it was them who introduced the Gregorian calendar month names by accident (even though I'm pretty sure that they would have made an honest effort to remember the Narnian calendar).
