Welcome Danny!

I am so glad to hear about your future confirmation. I will be confirmed at Easter 2005, as I am converting to Catholic from Protestant. This is the one chance in your life when you will get to pick your own name, so choose wisely. I have been thinking about mine for awhile now, and I'm not totally set on anything yet, though I have some good ideas.

A great way to start would be to research the ones online that you're interested in. Read some mini-biographies about them to get some idea. See if you can relate to them in any way, through some aspect of their lives. This way, you will choose someone who can be like a companion to you, and your name will have more meaning.

This site is a great place to start: http://www.catholic- forum.com/saints/indexsnt.htm. In the upper-right corner, you will see a capability to search by topic or name.

God bless you in your endeavors. Please feel free to come back and post again if you have any questions.
