So I've been putting off my Confirmation for about two years now, and have finally decided it's about time. I've chosen a sponsor; I've discussed the Holy Spirit; I've talked about the gifts we receive at Confirmation. I just need to choose a name.
I've been told that our name has to be of a Saint whose life we respect and so we can pray to them when times get hard. However, most of my friends and family just chose the name that they liked the most.
What name did you choose, and why? And do you think it matters whether the name holds any significance to you for the rest of your life?
And are there any strong believers of their religion who haven't chosen to be Confirmed? Why did you choose not to?
