I've been looking through previous publications, but apart from Sauvaget's, I can only find fragmentary attestations of one or two month names. Somehow I believed more good sequences had been found.
By googling the names, there is only so much we can find (things that have been transcribed, basically).
I've been looking at some books of hours but those are often in Latin and we're obviously looking for a vernacular form. And probably somewhat provincial, so the book of hours may not even be a good genre to study.
