The name your parents gave you when you were baptized
To determine your saint name, you can use your baptismal name. Some people also choose a saint they feel a connection to or admire for qualities they wish to embody as their saint name.

People at the time did not have surnames so Jude was his name when he was born and the name he kept when baptized.
If a confirmation name is chosen, usually a saint's name, it is listed after the baptismal name and before the surname. Otherwise, the baptismal name is used. ex: confirmation name: John Baptismal name: Charles Michael Surname: Smith confirmation certificate : Charles Michael John Smith w/o confirmation name: Charles Michael Smith
A baptismal name is a name given to someone at christening or confirmation.
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.
