It was always a big deal about naming boys with Saints names. My dad didn't have one until he was taken in for his baptism.......the way the story was told to me from my grandfather the priest looked at my dad and said that his name is now Patrick! LOL...so now the ol' man has two middle names.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
