I was tempted to explain to Luke that October has its origins with the latin number 8 (octó), which can also be found in words such as Octopus and Octagon.
He kinda likes languages so I would've mentioned some foreign numbers that are similar, such as:-
Ocho - Spanish
Acht - German /Dutch
Otto - Italian
Oito - Portuguese
Agt - Afrikaan
οκτώ - Greek
However, to do so I would need to explain why October is the 10th month, not the eighth. I'll leave that one for now.
