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
