I posed this query on the Kitzur List -
«Kitzur SA states it is assur to use the names of idols
Tammuz is the name of a Babylonian god
Q: What's the heter to use that name for a month?»
Here is a fascinating Response

The same generation that thought it was okay to adopt Tammuz as a month name called little Hadasah after the goddess Ishtar (a/k/a Isis, Asheira, Aphrodite), and one of the Sanhedrin would go by a reference to Marduk (who the Canaanites called Molekh).
