Ruby on Rails

I have an integer. I want to convert that into the name of a month.
With Ruby, I can just do this:

Date::MONTHNAMES[8]

and get "August".

So, how do I localize the month name? When I try:

l("date.month_names[8]")

I get an error:

I18n::ArgumentError: Object must be a Date, DateTime or Time object.
"date.month_names[8]" given.

What am I missing?
