You need to use the Calendar class, e.g.

var now = Date()
var calendar = Calendar.current


if let then = calendar.date(byAdding: .month, value: 3, to: now) {
  let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
  dateFormatter.dateFormat = "LLLL"
  let monthName = dateFormatter.string(from: then)
  print ("\(monthName)")
}

Just keep in mind how calenar arithmetics is handled: if you add "3 months" to let's say Nov 30th, 2019, then you'll get Feb-29th, 2020, although someone might expect March-01, 2020.
