Can girls use boy saint names for confirmation?

Answer 1

I wouldn't think so. Normally, girls tend to use names like Mary The Virgin or something like that. It's up to you. If you're still unsure, ask your local priest.

Wrong answer. You may choose any saint's name.... male or female.

Agreed. It doesn't matter what gender the saint is, as long as the person truly likes the saint, and feels connected with him/her. I am a girl, and I'm think of choosing St. Genesuis because I am an actress. St. Genesuis was a male.

Answer 2

You may choose any saint - male or female. Some girls will chose a male patron and use the feminine form of the name. eg: Frances for Francis, Vicenta for Vincent, etc. It is all up to you. Just make sure it is a saint's name and that you intend to use that saint as a role model.

Answer 3

Really depends on the name. Names such as ''Kim'' are mostly concidered unisex and is socially acceptable for both genders. However names such as ''Nicolay'' are more specific for males and is not typically used for females.

Personally I would not recommend you to get a name that is neither unisex nor males. This coming from the amount of children and youth's bullying.

Answer 4

Yes. You can also use the male name of a saint.

Answer 5

Most likely not. What she could do is, choose the name of a female Saint who was closely associated with the male Saint, whom she reveres.

Answer 6

Yes, that is not a problem
