What was your Confirmation name?

DEFTLEFTHAND

Mine was Luke after St Luke, very imaginative.

Does anybody use their taken name as part of their full name, I add it in whenever I'm filling out forms, I like it it, it rings well with my two middles and first name. I can do cool initials with it.

You should not use your confirmation name on official forms, as it is not a registered name. Stick to you full name per your birth cert only.

I'll not state my confirmation name here as I know it is the only one of it's kind in the country and would give my anonymity away. I already have 4 names on my birth cert anyway.

Confirmation names are purely a religious thing, as in your new identity in Christ!

In my school you are told to just use your normal name as a confirmation name.

Though I never met anybody outside of Ennis who did that

I didn't make my confirmation, but a girl in my class picked Toni... after Tony Mortimer, the lead singer of East 17!!

Sounded cool. It's the blessing of throats which is ironic because I had serious throat problems and had to get my tonsils out.

Catholics only please. 90% of you on here were raised this way, you did your Communion and Confirmation and took a name, just give it to me and stop with the wisecracks, you're breaking my balls here.

Brendan after the navigator, thought it was boring until I heard Christy moore singing his song about him, how he sailed into Krugers and murdered pints of stout........some detail

I wanted to pick Raymond but the teacher said we had to write about the saint that we wanted to be named after. The thing is that I knew nothing about St. Raymond of if there even is one. In the end I just picked Brendan because he was the only saint I knew anything about.

Legs.Eleven

Sinéad. Took it cos I liked the name at the time. Not sure how I got away with it though.

What? I must have missed that lesson but it's 40 years ago for my anyway.

A saint you say? Anyway I already had a Saint's Christian Name until more recently when that Saint was made redundant. :mad:

Bridget. What was I thinking.

Incheerocket

I wanted Frances after Francis Assisi cos I was animal mad and he was saint of animals, nuns told me I couldn't cos he was a man and I was a girl! So chose Clare instead

my baptismal? (middle) name is Frances, after St. Francis (born on his feast day) my daughter took that name for her confirmation cause she loved animals too.

dark crystal

I chose Veronica because it was Madonna's confirmation name and I was a huge Madonna fan at the time.

Joseph.
I hated it but my parents wanted it.

And no I refuse to use it as I don't believe in that crap anyway so why on earth would I use a name I wasn't born with.
I'm one of extremely few people I know who has no middle name and I kinda like that.

Peregrine

They didn't have one where I did my Confirmation.

I think I have a baptismal name which is different from my first name so I guess that's kind of like your Confirmation names. Naturally, being 3 months old when I got it, I don't remember it.

Same but I always wished I had one.

Why did the two pigeons box the heads off each other?

Because one of them called Francis a sissy.
