This is how I get the month names from within R:

> mon <- rep(strptime("01/01/1952", format = "%d/%m/%Y"), 12)
> mon$mon <- mon$mon + 0:11
> mnam <- months(mon, abbreviate = F)
> mnam
 [1] "januar"    "februar"   "marts"     "april"     "maj"       "juni"
"juli"      "august"    "september"
[10] "oktober"   "november"  "december" 

Surely someone on the list can beat that in elegance?
