Margaret Mary Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I was recently reading the IRL vocations blog and came across this funny post! [url="http://vocationblog.com/2011/03/religious-names-to-avoid/#comments"]My link[/url]
OnlySunshine Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 How about: Sr. Claire Annette (clarinet) Father A. Long Sr. Mary Christmas Cardinal Sin (a real Roman Catholic priest!)
Margaret Mary Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 How about Sister More Carmel (after Saint Thomas More and Our Lady of Mount Carmel)?
dominicansoul Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Sr. Rosary Bede ( I seriously think this is a great name for a Dominican!)
HopefulBride Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1299263826' post='2217909'] Sr. Claire Annette (clarinet) Sr. Mary Christmas [/quote] :: I read these thinking, nothing's wrong with them until I started saying them aloud...and fast too. LOL
Starets Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 [font="Book Antiqua"][size="3"]Sr (or Br) Petroc, after the Cornish saint, St. Petroc.[/size][/font]
tnavarro61 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1299263826' post='2217909'] Cardinal Sin (a real Roman Catholic priest!) [/quote] Yeah, he existed! (he already died) He's the former archbishop of Manila. He would welcome people to the palace by saying, "Welcome to the house of Sin!"
Sister Marie Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 When I was practicing for the actual ceremony of Reception into the Novitiate our Superior thought it was quite funny to scare us. [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/nunpray.gif[/img] During practice, when it came time in the rite for her to announce our religious name she took great delight in yelling out "Sister Polycarp, Sister Prudentissima, Sister St. Cornelius, Sister St. Sylvester, Sister Gregory the Great." It also made us feel a little less nervous to joke around before the big moment! Sister Marie
Sister Marie Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 [quote name='franciscanheart' timestamp='1299279303' post='2218018'] I rather like Sister Polycarp. [/quote] Haha... well it isn't any Therese, Catherine, or Elizabeth [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/like.gif[/img]
emilier98 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I too like Polycarp. Before I was called to religious life I used to joke that I was going to name one of my children Polycarp. Good thing I'm going to be a sister otherwise my children would have had some odd names. lol

[/quote] Y'all are cruel! J/K! I've always been partial to old-timey names like Catherine , Rose, Samantha, Henry, James, and Michael. If I do have kids, they are all going to be named after saints.

"What is 2+2, Chrysogonus?"
