Confirmation names are one of the bonuses of growing up Catholic, a chance for you to choose a name for yourself that enhances the names your parents gave you.
Confirmation names have to be saints' names, but you may be surprised to learn that confirmation names for boys include lots of cool, modern-sounding choices. Of course, you'll want to choose your confirmation name for reasons that go deeper than an appealing sound.
Some tips:
Learn the background of the saint whose name you're considering, to be sure you admire the figure as well as his name.
Be sure your new initials don't spell anything embarrassing.
Your confirmation name can be public or secret, giving you a second middle name, substituting for your given middle name, or kept off the record.
Choosing a confirmation name can teach you a lot about yourself, your tastes and values. Do you prefer popular names or rare names? Want something well-liked that will be admired by your peers or would you rather pick something unusual that makes you stand out? Do you like strong masculine names like Roch or prefer more gender-neutral names like Remi?
Here, some confirmation names for boys you might want to make your own, ordered by their current popularity on Nameberry.
