One of the traditional practices in the Church at the time of Confirmation is choosing a name that will remind you of this sacrament and to signify your new and deeper awareness of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.  If the choice is made to add a new name, it is to be a Christian name.  It should reflect a saint whom you can admire and imitate.

Candidates are required to choose a Saint's name to become their Confirmation name and should be a person they wish to emmulate.  If you are choosing to use your given name as your Confirmation Name, you will write your given name on the online form.
