[updated]
I wasn’t paying that close attention (to anyone else that is), but during the confirmation at St. John Cantius at Easter Vigil, I heard three confirmation names repeated a couple times. For the women it was St. Faustina and St. Teresa and for the men the name used at least twice was St. Augustine.
I chose the name Anthony (after St. Anthony the Great). Ambrose, Joseph and Benedict were my runner up names…. Here is the Life of St. Anthony by St. Athanasius. You can read an older post about St. Anthony here.
Here is the list of names for this year’s confirmations at St. John Cantius:
| Anthony | |
| Augustine | (2) |
| Christopher | |
| Faustina | (2) |
| Isaac Jogues | |
| Joseph | |
| Marie | |
| Maximilian Kolbe | |
| Philmena | |
| Theresa of Avila (2) | |
