Why do people choose a saint's name for their confirmation name?
It's a Customary Tradition expanding on their taking a Christian Name for their Baptism. The Confirmation is part of the "Rites of Initiation" of the Sacraments.

How do you pick a saint name for confirmation?
No it does not. The so called Saints which the Catholic church call certain righteous people, is purely a Catholic tradition. All disciples of Christ are called Saints. The name that you call a child can be any name you choose.Catholic Answer:If you are a Catholic being confirmed in the Catholic Church you must choose a Saint for your confirmation name. Males must choose a male, females a female. The Church desires this in order that you will have a heavenly patron to aid you in the battle ahead as you move forward in responsibly living and sharing your Faith. The Saints are set before us by the Church that we may imitate them in their devotion and fidelity to God. She, therefore, asks us to choose one we that may particularly wish to emulate in our life and whom we may call upon for special intercession with God in trials and in joys. Minor Correction:Girls may choose a male saint's name and boys a female name for confirmation if they so choose.
