Current date is 30 October 2017
This code:
date("F",strtotime("-8 Month"))
Returns "March" where it should be February.

Thanks for the answers - I managed to solve it by using:
strtotime(date('Y-m')." -8 Month")
Yep, that appears to be the case...
To get around that you could use...
echo date("F",strtotime("first day of -8 Month"));
That's from some discussion on http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
This is happening because February has 28 or 29 days. Use this hack and you will get the correct date
echo date("F",strtotime("first day of -8 Month"));
