How do you choose a confirmation name?
At confirmation, many candidates choose the name of a saint as a companion for their life of faith. The saint becomes a patron: an example to follow and a friend in prayer.
There is no single right choice. Some choose a saint whose story moves them, others a saint whose feast day means something to them. It helps to read a little about the saint before deciding.
Talk about your choice with your parents, your sponsor or the person preparing you for confirmation.
Good to know.
Do I have to choose a confirmation name?
Customs differ from country to country and from parish to parish. In many places you may choose the name of a saint or keep your baptismal name. Ask the person preparing you what is usual where you live.
When does my confirmation saint have their feast day?
Each suggestion shows the saint’s feast day. Many people celebrate it like a second name day.
