Considerations:

The common advice for those trying to decide on a name is to research saint names and find one that fits their personality or spiritual goals. Those seeking confirmation are also encouraged to pray and seek a saint that is willing to guide them as they seek a closer relationship with God. How to Choose A Saints Name During the Catholic sacrament of confirmation, God the Holy Spirit comes upon you to bestow numerous spiritual gifts and "confirm" the faith given you in Baptism when Original Sin was wiped away. You choose a confirmation name before confirmation. This new name, imposed by the Bishop or Priest during confirmation, becomes a part of your full name. It comes after your first and middle names and before the last name.
