If a date is in A1 then:
=DATE(2006,MONTH(A1),1)
will show October formatted as
mmmm

Another way - you could display the month without using the month function
(unless you need the month number for something else):

=TEXT(TODAY(),"mmmm")
replace Today() w/a date or reference to a date.

or just enter the date (or link to the date) and use a custom format of "mmmm"
