Jessica. I have absolutely zero clue how I came up with that. I knew no Jessicas as a child. Probably my 12 year old self saw some Jessica on TV - actually it could've been yer wan out of Sweet Valley High.

Pretty ridiculous when I think about it. What a load of bollix.

Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote. She's an idol! :P

Sarah, she was a wife of a friend of jesus or something.

Remember the confirmation books? We used to fight over the gold and silver pens to decorate our books.

Looking back now, all of it was a pile of poo.

Shure it was a bit of craic back in the day & it provided kids with in the most part good memories.

No harm in that IMHO.

Your'e memories make you the person you become.

Yeah but now I don't want anything to do with the church and can't believe I spent so much time on that stuff. That time spent on maths or english would have been far better.

There's a great fashion now for bashing the Church & all that now.

I'm not Religious myself, but there was an awful lot of good done by 'The Firm' past & present.

There'd be no such thing as MRSA in hospitals nowadays if the Nuns were in charge.

I had a dishwasher named Claire back in the day........

Good times.

When she moved out, I had to buy an actual Dishwasher.

Pádraig. Wanted Patrick, then decided that I liked Irish, so combined the two things.

I chose Claire too, but to make it extra cool I wanted it to be spelled Clair.

It was spelled Clare in the end.

Not me, but my brother chose Martin as his confirmation name. I guess he forgot that his middle name is also Martin.

Xavier, can't remember why tho, probably just to be different.

rainbow kirby · 24-03-2014 01:06AM

Catherine, it's my mum, granny and great-granny's confirmation name too. Chain stops here though because I won't be raising my kids Catholic.

Anyone remember how much money they got?

I got 60 quid which was a lot back in 1986

I chose Martha, the patron saint of cooks. I wanted Agatha but my mother informed me about the cutting off of boobs so I decided not to. I was glad I didn't choose Agatha as the bishop quizzed me on my name choice just before I kissed his ring.

If you choose Agatha, your boards name would have been spot on.. :P:D

Mine was Clare, after Saint Clare of Assisi.

Interesting reading here & here

/It was my parents who chose this Saint for me & I'm well pleased!

Definitely wasn't because of him. I done my confirmation 17 years ago. He came into the soap in 2008

Monica - after your one from friends! I wasn't allowed Phoebe and I didn't like Rachel.
We were handed a few holy calendars between us and told if we could find the names we had picked for ourselves in there - we could use them!
As for writing an essay about them, we were given 3/4 sentences each to learn in case we were asked anything by the bishop or parish priest.

ABajaninCork · 24-03-2014 02:10AM

Alexandra. My birthday is on the feast day of St Alexander, so that was my name.

Someone I knew chose Callixtus as his Confirmation name (suppose was after one of the earlier Popes).

Sir Osis of Liver. · 24-03-2014 02:13AM

Patrick.
Was a very patriotic 12 year old.

What was your Confirmation name?
