If You Could Pick Your New Religious Name, What Would It Be?

Just for fun, what name would you choose if you were a religious Sister? Obviously from my username, I love St. Kateri but there are lots of other saints I love. I know in some Orders the Superior picks the name for you but this is purely hypothetical. So if you could pick your new name, what would it be and why?

Sr Ruth. Anything with Ruth, really. Joseph and Rita are good names too.

I have a whole list:
Sr. Mary Ambrose
Sr. Mary Paul
Sr. Maria Albertina
Sr. Mary Helen
Sr. Maria Miguel
Sr. Mary Moses
Sr. Mary Agnes

But I decided a while ago that I do not want to submit any names and just let Mother decide for me.

Women are interesting indeed. Before I discerned out, I never had huge lists of what my Religious name would be, or thought about it much. I just figured what my Superior chose it would be fine.

Whatever Mother chose, but I would like it to follow the pattern of: Sr. <Mary, Maria, Marie, or any other form of Mary> <some Saint's name> of the <Passion, Cross, or Sacred Heart>. Of course, the title is only if the order has them.... And I definitely would like Mary to come first.

Doesnt one have to stick with their community's moniker? Like Mother Angelica's sister's have many "Marie's-Maria in their names.

I don't have a long list of potential names because I feel like I should want a name of a saint that I have a lot in common with. But in any case, I can think of a few that I would really like:

Sr. Maria Teresa
Sr. Kateri Teresa
Sr. Maria Bakhita

I'm thinking that if I have any choice in the name, it should start with Maria. I picked that as my confirmation name for St. Maria Goretti and for some reason, it just feels like a comfortable fit if ya know what I mean.

A while back, if you had asked me what I wanted, I would have said Sr. Mary Elizabeth or Sr. Mary Isabela. I still LOVE those names but I am growing very attached to my patron saints for this year and I might like to have either:

Sr. John Paul
Sr. Jerzy (for Bl. Jerzy Popieluszko)
