How to create a random sample of months in R?

Random samples can be created by using sample function and months in a year can be generated with the help of month.name function. Therefore, if we want to create a random sample of months then month.name can be used with sample function as sample(month.name) and if the size of the sample is larger than 12 then replace=TRUE argument should be used.
