Default Date formatting problems

This is an easy one, though not for me apparently!

I have a variable cell, say cell B34, with 5/31/2007 currently in it,
formatted as a date. In another cell, I want it to say "as of end of May",
using the text function at the end to produce May. But I am having trouble
with the formatting of that text part, e.g., text(B34,"mmm") or something
like that, but that doesn't work - it gives me January. I tried the month
function, and it does yield 5, but I can't figure out how to get it to
produce May, the fifth month.

Kindly help.

Thanks!
Dean
