What is a Confirmation name?
A Confirmation name is best thought of as a name that God – and only God – calls you by. It is not a name that other people call you by, like a baptismal name. Ideally, a Confirmation name should be the name of a saint whom you know something about, or who inspires you, or whose virtues you want to imitate. It is the name of a saint who will accompany you through life. It is a reminder of the day of your Confirmation, when you were anointed with the oil of the Holy Spirit.
