Harvest Moon, Singing Moon or Barley Moon?

(Before It's News)

There is a full moon this weekend. If you live in England, it is at 4am on Sunday morning, September 30, to be precise.

According to the online pagan calendar, the medieval name for the late September full moon is Barley Moon, the Celtic name for it is Singing Moon, while the neopagan name is Harvest Moon.

I’m not really sure which of those names I like the most, so I thought I put out the question: What do you prefer to call the full moon at this time of the year?
