If you could pick your Confirmation name now

    I'm no longer religious in any way, but if you could pick your confirmation name now, or change your old one, what would you choose?

    I'm torn between Santa-Cruz and Berlusconi.

    When I picked my confirmation name I got in trouble actually.

    The school and church wrote to my parents as I refused to take a saint's name.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭jimthemental


    Has to be a saint I think so it'd be St. Tibulus.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,262 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    I picked the name Louise and I would choose it again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    My son got confirmed last may and took Fechin. His name is now Jacob Marley Fechin.

    I took Roberta after my hero of the day bob geldof (was around time of live aid). If could choose again I would choose drew.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,670 ✭✭✭✭Wolfe Tone


    Robert.


    I picked James for some unknown reason!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin


    I just picked my favourite name back then...Sinead. It's not even a saint's name. Not sure how I got away with that one. I still like it though.

    I wonder how the girl in my class who chose Madonna feels about hers now?

    No really, the name you have now is just fine.

    I'd pick something more religiousy like 'Mary' or 'Joseph'. I presume 'Jesus' is out of bounds?

    I would have picked either Lemmy or Rommel.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 752 ✭✭✭cup of tea

    Margaux. Nothing but the wanky French spelling will do.

    I really want to call a daughter Margaux. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    I actually picked Blaise (Saint Blaise is the saint of that candles over the throats thing) cause as a 12 year old I thought it was "Blaze" and felt it sounded badass. now, not so much. So I'd go for Lazer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,357 ✭✭✭✭leahyl


    Princess Consuela Banana Hammock - has a nice ring to it I think. Thanks Phoebe :)
