As a Confirmation name, you can choose the name that you received at your Baptism or you may choose a name of a saint or Bible character that you would like to emulate.
No, girls do not have to choose girls' names for confirmation. In the Catholic Church, individuals typically choose a confirmation name that holds personal significance to them, regardless of gender.
No, you can also choose a male confirmation name as long as it is a saint's name.
If a confirmation name is chosen, usually a saint's name, it is listed after the baptismal name and before the surname. Otherwise, the baptismal name is used. ex: confirmation name: John Baptismal name: Charles Michael Surname: Smith confirmation certificate : Charles Michael John Smith w/o confirmation name: Charles Michael Smith
You must choose a name for Confirmation. It must be the name of a holy man or woman, someone who can be a role model for you in your Catholic life.
Of course, it is a good name for any female in the world.
Any Saint name would be a good Confirmation name for her.
Yes, it is a wonderful confirmation name. However, before you choose it you should so an Internet search of St. Michael to learn as much as you can about him.
When you choose a Confirmation name you are choosing a saint that is very special to you and who you wish to use as a role model for your life. When you were born your parents chose your name and patron saint. Now that you are confirming your faith as a young adult, you have the opportunity to choose.

By reading the lives of the Saints, and decide which one they identify with the most.
