Default Named Range Used in Formula Error

Let's see if I have this straight...

A cell is named MONTH and contains a drop down that contains the names of
months which are in turn named ranges themselves?

INDIRECT(MONTH)

Note that this won't work if the named ranges are dynamic ranges.

Formula

=a*b*MONTH
Results in error if Named Range is picked up from a drop down box

eg: Jan set of values
Feb set of values

Putting named range in formula directly works fine.
Point to a cell called month where users select the appropriate month
yields errors

How do I get the range values passed correctly to the formula if the
drop down box is named MONTH?
Where Month = Drop Down
and Month is a named range

Workarounds??
