Bodhiji while it is true that many parts of Bharat have the same names, there are some differences which is why I called it Telugu calendar and days, for example 2 day names are different in Panjabi and Telugu, one of them is Sunday which is Rivivar in both Panjabi and Hindi (Ravivaar) and Thursday which is Virwar/Birwar in Panjabi.
Also many of the Tamil & Malayalam months and days are different:

Coming to your question, Bhaumvara is not used in Telugu today but Telugu also has 3 names for Tuesday, mangalavaaram is used now but the other words are angaarakavaaram and bhaumyavaaram both of which may have been used in the past.

Coming to Madhumaasam, it is still used in Telugu songs and poems to mean spring but the Calendar uses Chaitramu.
