Most people will have several saints to choose from. Your birthday is your best point of departure: each day has its saint. This is pretty well ubiquitous in Russia.
The next may be the country, region or city you hail from: most have one or more saints associated with them.
Finally there may be your trade or profession. Famous examples are Crispin and Crispinian, who are the patron saints of cobblers, and Nicholas, the patron saint of seafarers (as well as robbers, children, Russia and St. Petersburg, amongst other things: he's pretty popular).
