Ok, should I use my confirmation name in my initials?

If you answer, please include your religion and if you get confirmed, or not.

This is a serious question.

It would change my initials from CTB to CTAB.

I'm not sure which I like better, anyway.

Most people don't.

Would Padre Pio be Saint Pious now?

Who's Padre Pio? I've heard of Celasse, but not Padre Pio.

It's just that there's a community center around here, named Seatack, and it makes me think of C-TAB.

The Holy Trinity in Catholicism is Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation, then when we're confirmed, we select a name. I selected Anton Stasny, former NHL Hockey player. Actually, just his first name.

My mom uses her confirmation name but i don't use mine. I hate explaining to people that are not catholic why i have 2 middle names.My husbands family is extremely religous and they don't use theirs either. I think its a matter of personal choice.By the way I am a "fallen" catholic.

It's just an additional name, placed after your God-given middle name.

i took confirmation, but didnt know anything about the class that i took. they just asked us what our god name or whatever and i guess they made that into our confirmation name. whats this confirmation name thing even mean?


yeah, right after i got confirmed i just quit going to church. while my family attends mass i just sit outside and wait out the hour. i just dont wanna go to church anymore, even though i never liked it
