Your baptismal name is your birth name, as written on your birth certificate that your parents chose for you. For example: George Michael (last name). In Confirmation, you add a first name, to put after your birth name. The name is generally taken from a Saint's name, but does not have to be a saint name. So George Michael 'Timothy' (last name) might be the Confirmation name. By the way, except for Confirmation, this extra middle name is rarely used for any purpose.
