how to get monthname
=IF(LEFT(CELL("format",A3),1)="D",A3,DATE(LEFT(A3, 4),MID(A3,5,2),RIGHT(A3,2)))
Just a thought might be to ignore the Year and Day.
=IF(LEFT(CELL("format",A3),1)="D",A3,DATE(2000,MID (A3,5,2),1))

If you must use your formula, then:
=CHOOSE(MONTH(IF(LEFT(CELL("format",A3),1)="D",A3, DATE(LEFT(A3,4),MID(A3,5,2),RIGHT(A3,2)))),"jan"," feb","mar","apr","may","jul","aug","sep","oct","no v","dec")
but easier is:
=IF(LEFT(CELL("format",A3),1)="D",A3,DATE(LEFT(A3, 4),MID(A3,5,2),RIGHT(A3,2)))
and format the cell with the formula as Custom "mmmm"
