    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!!

    St Blaise.

    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.
