I just want to let y'all know that I was baptized on Saturday (Apr 7th) And I was also confirmed and got fist communion. The reason I am posting here is because I chose the name Olivia, for my confrimation name.
Olivia was a saint in Catholic history but that's not why I chose it. We were supposed to choose a name that meant something to us and Olivia means everything to me. It's a strong, protective name, and it symbolizes the character that I would like to model my new spiritual life after.
I guess you all think this is silly, but I had to tell some people who might understand.

congratulations, first of all.
secondly, i don't think it's silly at all. i didn't have to pick a name when i got confirmed (both my first name, Melissa, and my middle name, Meaghan come from the name Margaret, so i already had a Saint's name). it is important to pick a name of someone that you respect, or who exhibits the qualities that you would like to have, and i think Olivia is a wonderful name to pick =) plus, i always thought it was a beautiful name anyway.

Oh, cool! I didn't know there was a saint named Olivia...I'm supposed to be Confirmed next year, but I'm not sure. If I do, I'll probably choose the name Olivia too.

i don't think that it is silly at all. i think it was a really good choice since you obviously have great respect for the name and it has a personal meaning to you...good choice!
