[Opinions] Re: Confirmation Names 2024
I like Cecilia, Helena, Raphael, Maximilian and Agnes the most from the confirmation names, and I find Toribio, Augustine, Amalberga, Valentine, Pio and Dymphna the most interesting. I like Cameron, Maximilian, Riley, Elijah, Ella, Colette, Josephine, Noah, Vincent, Eloise, Luz, Tyler, Delaney and Theresa best from the given names (I hope that’s the right terminology).
It’s interesting that Vincent chose Vincent and Theresa chose Therese! Do you know if there’s any reason for this?

Maybe some kids went with their own names since they coincided with saints. One of my younger cousins almost chose his own name before settling on Francis.
