Maxwell

Is there some middle name stats chart out there? Bcz I feel like 37% of girls ~my age or younger have the middle name of Marie.

Robert

Both of my grandpa's first names are Robert, so I was pretty much doomed from the start.

oh so if confirmation names count - mine is Veronica

my confirmation name was francis, for st francis of assisi. i partly chose it because i liked him and partly because i wanted a boy's name. my friend took brigid because it rhymed with frigid and she said that would be right up their alley. church-wise we have not amounted to much.

I was expecting ENBB's to be Brigid or Bernadette or Beatrix

Wanda.

I picked George because of http://i40.tinypic.com/2hhf30l.gif + http://i41.tinypic.com/2lj0oer.png

lol

the fuck is a confirmation name?

http://i42.tinypic.com/ehdaqc.jpg

iirc: when I was 13 I had to confirm that I was d4l w/ jc and whatnot. at some point you get to take the name of yr favorite saint and slot it in between yr middle name and yr last name.

the only thing I actually remember is sitting down for an interview with Father St3ve. Due to the poor quality of my doctrinal education, I had no clue what he was talking about. I think I just kind of repeated his question back to him, something about souls, afterlife, purgatory I guess. I tried to visualize my grandmother's soul floating around somewhere to help answer the question but it didn't help.

o ya middle names: I am jealous of the following which I know irl: Melvin, Woodrow, and Sunshine

I don't have a middle name.

SUnshine, yes! I love when you can tell there was a hippie parent who had to compromise by their kids middle names, like my friend whose middle name is Waterfall.

marie

conf name: elizabeth ann

we had to do a whole report on the saint and stuff.

sooo glad i bailed out of confirmation, hated those classes so much

matthew btw

yeah about 6 months post-confirmation i decided religion was not for me after all! i think that whole process helped 'confirm' that, lol.

Yeah, same. I went to a Catholic girls HS and decided a couple months in that I didn't believe any of it and was an atheist. Pretty much did the confirmation thing to please my parents because it seemed important to them. *shrug* Still sorta like having the name thing because it was my maternal grandmother's whom I never got to meet.

my middle name is Sebastián. My confirmation name is Martín, after this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Martin_de_Porres

i'll have to ask my friends if they have confirmation names because i didn't know this was a thing!

i have never used or even really thought about my confirmation name since after i chose it. I was agnostic when i was confirmed, became atheist about a year later.

Nijoli ours names are sorta similar - Erica is a type of Heather plant (or vice versa - can't remember) and middle names both Nicole. :D

at no time during my lutheran confirmation process were we told we could have special names, we just got to cut out pieces of felt into shapes that symbolized our life and glue them to a red scarf that we had to wear around our robe during a special church service shortly after 8th grade graduation where we all gave speeches to the congregation called "faith statements," which was followed by cake and fruit punch and getting approached by lots of old women who wanted to tell us how beautiful it all was.

Yeah - the confirmation name is a Catholic only thing iirc

séan matthew including confirmation name.

iirc: when I was 13 I had to confirm that I was d4l w/ jc and whatnot. at some point you get to take the name of yr favorite saint and slot it in between yr middle name and yr last name.

ha, I am so unchurched I couldn't even figure out who "jc" was until I read "yr favorite saint"

in any event, my middle name is Jarreau

He's my favorite saint!

George. it's a family tradition going back 170 years, viz:

George B. Unregistered (born 1840) begat G. William Unregistered;
And G. William Unregistered begat G. William Unregistered, Jr.;
And G. William Unregistered, Jr. begat G. William Unregistered III;
And G. William Unregistered III begat little old me.

I don't know what I'll do with my name if it ever comes to light that my great-great-grandpa George was a wife-beater or a Know Nothing just an all-around douchebag. for now all I know is that he was a carpenter who built coffins for a living.

no offense to Rev, but Al Jarreau isn't even close to being my favorite Al.

George is my dad's name and my uncle's name and my grandfather's name and so it awesome.

stephen

william stuart

my confirmation name was matthew because of matthew le tissier

itt thread ppl learn some unexpected weird shit about Catholics

no offense to Rev, but Al Jarreau isn't even close to being my favorite Al.

not mine either, just my dad's

Lawrence, after my grandfather and uncle. My female cousin's middle name is Lawren to cling to the same tradition.

I vaguely remember getting a confirmation name but it was just a formality, like getting confirmed despite not caring about catholicism just to keep my mom happy.

i actually have two, francis and xavier, true story

weird I knew a kid who had these two middle names but also a third middle name, joseph. I guess being catholic gets you a lot of names?

yeah i have three if you count my confirmation name but i dont so

Fredrik

Lynn -- same as Mom's.

Laurel Lynn!! I like it.

It's kind of nerd-bait in the sense that a couple of fantasy book creatures are named things similar to that -- the Liralen (McKillip), some forest location in Tolkien, etc.

was gonna say gilmore girls

Laurelindórenan = Valley of Singing Gold, in Elvish. Thanks for staying at home and reading a lot of books that year, Mom!

Grandpa's middle name: Leonard
Uncle's middle name: Leon
Cousin's middle name: Lee

What else is left? Will I someday have a second cousin or whatever it would be with the middle name of Le?

Leopold!

i don't remember if i even selected a confirmation name? my first and middle names are sufficiently saintly (joseph matthew)
