The months were named correctly...when we had a ten month calendar. So no, oct shouldn't mean '10' because October is the tenth month. October is October because it was named that when it was the 8th month of the year.

From wiki
"The cage is an eight-sided structure with walls of ****l chain-link fence coated with black vinyl and a diameter of 32 ft (9.75 m), allowing 30 ft (9 m) of space from point to point. The fence is 6 ft (1.83 m) high. The cage sits atop a platform, raising it 4 ft (1.2 m) from the ground. It has foam padding around the top of the fence and between each of the eight sections. It also has two entry-exit gates opposite each other"
