Help[Opinions] Re: Confirmation Names 2024
in reply to a message by Rainya
You're supposed to pick a name of someone you consider a role model in your faith. Traditionally, it's a saint's name, but picking a name from the Bible or a name of a trusted/admired person in.your life might be okay nowadays, too...although Buddha or Muhammad probably wouldn't fly.

It depends on the diocese. My daughter had to write a report on her confirmation name. I suppose it's easy enough to find a name you like and find a saint with it, though
The report had to include a biography of the saint and why my daughter chose it.

I know someone whose confirmation name is Noelle since she liked the name then. They really don't care what name is chosen.
Noel is a saint's name. But yeah, I think no one would really inquire unless it's obviously not a Christian name.
