Yeah but that's not part of my name. Not as far as I'm concerned anyways. I certainly wouldn't use it.

The reason I mention it is cuz my kid is making his confirmation soon and we're trying to decide on a name. It has to be the name of a saint, apparently.

I want Sebastian because of Belle and Sebastian and that Goya painting.

He wants Martin. :dabs:

I chose My Father's Father's name for my confirmation. My Brother chose my Mother's Father's name.

I pretended it was a deep, meaningful family thing but it was really because you had to research the Saint. My Paternal Grandfather was Joseph, so a bit of an easy one there.

Coincidentally my own Father was a Joiner.

True story.
 
What is the use of this thread when no one actually mentions what their real name is? :huh:

Anyways, my first name is Sonja and it's derived from Sophia, which is Greek for wisdom. My dad chose it and I think my mum just went along with it because it starts with an 's' ( both my sister's names start with an 's' as well)

My middle names are just my paternal grandparents' names. I don't have a confirmation name though. We don't hold with that nonsense in Belgian RC church
 
Everyone knows my name is Jim. From my Mother's Father also James.

I think I've made it reasonably clear my confirmation name is Joseph but I don't count that as part of my actual name.

And also I've made that disk for you but haven't had a chance to get it posted.

Sorry about that.
 
true, Jimbo, you were with the programme there :P

Cheers for the disc, there's no rush. Only just got back from a wee holidays today anyways

Scottish Highlands are fucking unbelievable

I'm going up to Arisaig agin' later in the year.

Wee cottage at Back of Keppoch.
 
Got one from a boxer, and two others, middle names, I inherited, one of those has been in both sides of the family for centuries, and is tied to my last name, in a my last name = "son of [my middle name]" sort of way.
