Unusual(ie wierd) Confirmation names.

Pottler

Hullo. I've a 12 year old who has an odd sense of humour, he wants to pick a confirmation name that is, err, unusual. Catch is, it has to have some sort of religious/saintly connection to pass the Conf.Po inspectors. So far he has St Sylvester, St Gasper, St Theodore and St Napoleon. None are odd enough fr him, so anyone else got a good name they picked for their confo,(that was accepted by the bish) or know a Saint with a wierd name?:) Much appreciated, etc etc.

My mate at the time chose my name as his confirmation name, as i have a weird name! He thought it be funny!

Vito Corleone

He could pick the name Jesus.

OP why am I not surprised .

Could he not just pick Saint Pottle, the patron saint of liquid measurement.

Antar Bolaeisk

Saint Onan (at least I think he was a saint)

Saint Isidore of Seville patron saint of the internet!

My Confirmation name is Benoit; I took it from a French childhood friend although I tell people that I took it from the wrestler.

That story hasn't seen as much airtime considering Benoit took his wife and child's life before taking his own.

:DMy username is his nickname, that's where it came from, he's Mr Pottler. I'm wondering how well Judas would go over on the day.
When I did mine, my best mates alcoholic axe-murderer dad actually turned up for the ceremony(which was a first). As the Bishop droned on, he could be heard loudly excaliming "ah for god sake, get on with it ya old bollix". Us kids laughed our holes off, but the olds were not impressed.

Actually that reminds me of something. There was a story going around where I am from that these two lads took the names Rivaldo and Ronaldo as their confirmation names when they made theirs a good nearly 10 years ago....I know of it cuz my brother was making his around the same time and he heard it from somewhere. I actually found out from a classmate of theirs through soccer a few years back when I played at this local club that it actually was true and it was from a bet on who would score more goals in the World Cup the year before. The winner of the bet got to choose which of the two names he wanted....apparently there was no problems with the church etc. as long as the lads were happy and their parents were too :P F*cking epic if you ask me..

A friend of mine was standing for his niece , she picked the name "Tara" ... when the bishop asked her why...her answer was ' cause we went on our school tour to the Hill of Tara and I liked the name '.

His wife told us that she thought he was going to have a heart attack with the laughing.

Any theories on where I get a baby blue dress suit with a frilly fronted 70's shirt from to fit a 12 year old?:) Ah, another day of shame for the pottler family. Eventually the school will get sense and stop making allowing us do stuff like this.

I'm pretty sure there's a Saint Rudolph ...
