You're right about the shifting of the months. July and August, from Julius and Augustus Caesar, were shoved in between June and September. I'm not totally sure who did it, but I'm guessing Augustus? The other months I can only guess came from Roman mythology. January (Janus), March (Mars), June (Juno). I have no clue if that's correct, but I'm certain someone else on the board knows.
