Help[Opinions] Re: Confirmation Names 2024
in reply to a message by Kinola
I'm curious, are you given a list of names to choose from or can you just choose anything?

You're supposed to pick a name of someone you consider a role model in your faith. Traditionally, it's a saint's name, but picking a name from the Bible or a name of a trusted/admired person in.your life might be okay nowadays, too...although Buddha or Muhammad probably wouldn't fly.

It depends on the diocese. My daughter had to write a report on her confirmation name. I suppose it's easy enough to find a name you like and find a saint with it, though
The report had to include a biography of the saint and why my daughter chose it.
