Just answered my own question... Full moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gives English, Native American, Hindu and some alternative names. It also puts the English ones back onto the months that flying red fox originally gave.
I'm with BWD on this - I had no idea about all these names and it's fascinating stuff! So poetic!
Dave P. | Thanks for the link i have add it to my favourites so i can learn the names! Great thread

This is a useful link, too: Near side of the Moon - Wikipedia
It names some of the more prominent features. |

Well the "Hunters" or "Blood" moon is up there tonight but you'd never know it from where I am. There is just an area of cloud slightly lighter than the rest. 
Hope we have a better view next month...
