Set @FrDate ='2010-05-31 17:38:58.577' 
Set @ToDate ='2010-09-01 17:38:58.577'

;WITH MONTHS (date)
AS
(
    SELECT @FrDate
    UNION ALL
    SELECT DATEADD(month,1,date)
    from months
    where date<=@ToDate
)
SELECT Datename(month,date) AS MONTH FROM MONTHS

To get short month name in result you can use the following line instead:

SELECT LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR,date,100),3) AS MONTH FROM MONTHS

To get month name in UPPER case you can use UPPER function for that:

SELECT UPPER(LEFT(CONVERT(VARCHAR,date,100),3)) AS MONTH FROM MONTHS
