Solution 1

Try yyyyMMMdd as format, which would lead to 2021May29. MR isn't a valid month name abbreviation, and there does not seem to exist any format specifier which would lead to an abbreviated month name to only 2 characters.
MMM would yield Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec respectively.
