When naming a baby does the first or middle name of your child have to be after a Saint or a person in the bible according to the Catholic faith?

It is not dogmatic (i.e., you will not be committing a mortal sin or denying the faith by not naming your child after a saint) but it is a pious Catholic practice, and all good Catholics naturally desire to name their children after saints. Catholics recognize that an eternity in heaven with Our Lord (being a saint) is far more important and noteworthy than the dubious achievement of fame, fortune, and influence here on earth. Thus, a Catholic would be far more likely to name their child after St. Philomena than after a personage of the modern, secular world such as a popular actor, politician, etc.
