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

but the teacher said we had to write about the saint that we wanted to be named after.

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.

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.

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

Mine was Luke after St Luke,
it rings well with my two middles and first name.

Cool hand?

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 · 23-03-2014 01:22PM

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.

Ignatius :pac:

Cracks me up every time I say it out loud, after Edmund Ignatius Rice, founder of the Christian Brothers Schools in Ireland.

Connorzee · 23-03-2014 01:26PM

I remember, at the early stages of the internet, in school web searching weird saints to pick something different. I ended up taking Blaise after St. Blaise the patron saint of sore throats, because it sounds like Blaze...

syklops · 23-03-2014 01:27PM

Mungo.

Don't use it.

One of the lads in my class chose Jesus,but on the big day the bishop refused to confirm him that name.
He settled for Joachim instead.

Witchie · 23-03-2014 02:16PM

I took Roberta after Bob Geldof coz it was around the whole Band Aid/Live Aid time so he was my hero.

My youngest son took Fechin. His full title is Jacob Marley Fechin. I love it.
