It's even more insane and complex than that because initially the middle part of the year wasn't even technically on the calendar at all, they just realigned the calendar at certain parts of the year and much of the summer was just an inter-calendar period. Adding months was initially a way to try to transition to a proper calendar, because they were in some sort of weird space between a lunar calendar (which is why it was 10 months originally) and a solar calendar (which is why they began skipping summer).
There were other month names though, Quintilis (Quintember) used to be the name for July (Julius) so he wasn't responsible for creating that month, in fact it was named that after his death. August was name Sextilis (Sextember) a name which I think we can all agree should have stuck around.

That explains why there are so many April and May babies.
