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. Note that the naming is a "custom", and separate from the purvue of "Sacred Tradition". As a custom it is also Optional, meaning don't stress if one is not taken (as I didn't).
Some people also use their confirmation name in place of their Middle name
The name of any Christian Saint. Your CCD (Religious Education) teacher can point you to a good reference book. Many people choose to take the name of a patron of the vocation of their family, or the date of their birth.
I think so- the requirement is to have at least one.
By reading the lives of the Saints, and decide which one they identify with the most.
Because the Virgin Mary is the Queen of all the Saints.
Since both Margaret & Anne are Saints' names, then you can most likely choose these both for your Confirmation name. I am not sure if whether or not there actually was a "St. Margaret Anne," but, both are the names of Saints in & of themselves.
ye it is a saints name xx
No, girls can also choose the name of a male saint or blessed as a confirmation name.
Basicly, to pick your Saint name for confirmation, you just have to research on all saints and pick one you 'look up to.' Many people just pick a name that sounds nice... As easy as that sounds, it may not be so easy to write your report. I am receiving confirmation this year, amd I chose Saint Isabel because she was a great person, she always put herself last. So, get researching to find out what your confirmation name is going to be!!!
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, you can also choose a male confirmation name as long as it is a saint's name.
beacause that is is super common name and since its sooo common people cant trace which christina
When you were baptized your parents chose your name and patron saint. You had no choice in the matter. Now, as a young adult you have the opportunity to choose a saint you wish as a special patron, someone you can emulate and use as a protector and role model..
