Cherie Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I liked St. Withburga. Literally. Almost my confirmation Saint! Also Notburga, Ethelburga ... any various "Burga's"

TradMom Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 +Praised be Jesus Christ! When Daughter Benedictine joined, our family made her a book that we worked on; thinking perhaps she would enjoy sharing some of the pages with the nuns at recreation or perhaps just reading some of the pages when she found herself homesick. One of the pages had an envelope glued down and inside of it, we put in it all the "funny" saint names we could think. We titled the envelope: "What will your new name be?" (Her Abbey "surprises" the novices!) Some that we found were: Homobonus, Audivax, Canute, Emerentiana, Buonadonna....there are so many more, but that gives you an idea! We thought the sisters would find in hilarious! Our daughter did, but in her letter home, she told us that most of the older nuns thought it was very creative - but NOT funny! We were all surprised, because we thought they would find it hilarious!! Pax, TradMom
LaPetiteSoeur Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) In hs, there was a guy on my bus named Augustine. Everyone called him Gus. I also like St. Walburga and St. Hildegard, both rather odd names. St. Hildegard has always been a favorite.... Ignatius isn't a bad name at all. I have relatives way back whose first name is "Preserved." And his last name? Fish. This was practically a sixth cousin seventeen times removed, but his name has gone down in family legend. No kidding. But this was in the 1600s. A closer relative (1900s) middle name was Duplex! Edited March 7, 2011 by LaPetiteSoeur

Love it!
Cherie Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Oh, and St. Lawdog. My husband, being an attorney, particularly liked him!
OnlySunshine Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 How about being named after these saints: St. Exuperance (she was supposedly very happy, LOL) St. Fabius Claudius Gordianus Fulgentius St. Zynovij Kovalyk St. Gall (I wonder if he was bitter? ) St. Aceptismas (he accepts the Mass?) St. Lancelot (no, not from King Arthur's knights) St. Vimin of Holywood (not a movie star) St. Artaxus of Syrmium St. Christina the Astonishing (apparently, she surprised people) St. Januarius (was his younger sibling, Februarius?) St. Alphege the Bald St. Mamas (not a female saint, either) St. Bairfhion (boy, I feel sorry for this guy) St. Teath (patron saint against cavities?) St. John the Great Sinner (even saints were once sinners and this guy was great!) St. Conon (I wonder if he was a barbarian...) St. Rollox (I wonder if he was always on time?) St. Nabor (wouldn't you like to get to know him?) St. Gwynnin Bl. Andrea Carlo Ferrari (I wonder if he drove a fancy car...) St. Olav the Thick (don't dare call him that...)
