Sr. Mary Magdalene or Sr. Maria Magdalena

Sr. Marie Therese

Or a combo thereof...Sr. Faustina Therese, Sr. Magdalene Therese...

[MirrorAndAnvil]

I love the CFRs! :)

 

I actually write and rewrite this list in class to keep me from falling asleep sometimes (along with drawing happy nun pictures).

 

Sr. Maria(or Mary) Fiat of the Precious Blood

Sr. Mary Magdalene of the Precious Blood

Sr. Maximilian Maria of the Precious Blood

 

Sr. Poverella would also be lovely (from St. Francis' nickname "Poverello", or "little poor man" in Italian)

 

 

Sr. Micheal Claire of the Joyful Heart of Mary C.F.R. :nun:

 

[AveMariaPurissima]

My current picks (it changes every so often) are:

Sr. Miriam Therese

Sr. Faustina Therese

Sr. Margaret Rose

[TheresaThoma]

These are so fun to read

The top three that I can think of are

Sr Miriam Edith

Sr Stella Maris

Sr Miriam Rose

[brandelynmarie]

It is fun to read them! :)

 MIRRORANDANVIL, welcome to the Phorum.  I didn't have my glasses on when I read your Phorum name the first time.  I thought it said Mirror And Advil - which is what I need most mornings when I look at myself in the mirror these days!  I wish I could have that "ageless" look that so many habited Sisters/Nuns have, but alas......

[Julie de Sales]

My new one is sister Benoite Marie (in honor of St Benedict Joseph Labre) 

[ChristinaTherese]

I love the CFRs! :)

Sr. Maria(or Mary) Fiat of the Precious Blood

Sr. Mary Magdalene of the Precious Blood

Sr. Maximilian Maria of the Precious Blood

 

Sr. Poverella would also be lovely (from St. Francis' nickname "Poverello", or "little poor man" in Italian)

Welcome!

 

That sounds like a good way to deal with boredom and feeling like I need to do something else during class.... Along with sketching monstrances, crosses, etc.

 

And the reason I quoted your post in the first place: Sr. Poverella sounds like a fantastic name. Maybe Sr. Maria Poverella? Hm....

[kg94]

For some reason I would go with Sr. Elizabeth Clare, after Elizabeth (Mary's cousin), and St. Clare of Assisi...

 

Or else I would go with something like Sr. Therese Francis or Sr. Francis Therese... (after St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Therese of Lisieux)...

[kg94]

Or even Sr. Elizabeth Anne...

[Kateri89]

My favorite name would be Sr. Maria Emmanuel but I'd be quite happy with Sr. Maria Cecilia, Sr. Maria Bakhita, or Sr. Maria Therese...I just want Maria to be the first name  :proud:

[ToJesusMyHeart]

Elizabeth Marie

Elizabeth Catherine 

Maria Gaudium 

Mary Catherine

 

(of the Visitation)

(of the Precious Blood)

 

 

[miserere55]

Many beautiful names!!!!  This is fun.  I LOVED the title ..."of Mary, Refuge of Sinners."  May have to think about that one.

 

My names:

Sr. Mary Juliana of God  (from Blessed Juliana  of the Corpus Christi Feast)

 

Sr, Chiara Mary of the Mercy of God

 

Sr. Maria Trinitas of His Holy Face

 

 

The PCC's of Rockford and Minooka allow a postulant to submit 3 names OR to permit the Abbess to choose. 

[miserere55]

Sr. Mary Clare of the Most High

[InPersonaChriste]

Sister Saoirse Hildegard

 

Because I like when people mess with pronunciation. It makes life more interesting

[Pia Jesu]

Love your first selection, Maximillion...and also:

 

Sr. Aimee of Jesus

Sr. Marie-Josephe

Sr. Noelle Marie

 

I've recently been introduced to the beautiful devotion to Mary, Undoer of Knots.  Wonder how that could be worked

into a name...!

 

 

[Freedom]

Sr. Mary Joan

 

Joan of Arc has always been one of my many favorite saints.  Plus I always like to think myself as tough but if I ever got into a religious community I'd prolly look like a pussy cat!  I'd allow the Holy Spirit to work on the Rev. Mother Prioress and pick my new religious name.  I just hope it's not ugly!

[Talithacum]

Sr. Katherine, just because it means purity

Sr. Talithacum, In the bible it means "little girl get up!"

Sr. Therese

[ChristinaTherese]

Not necessarily names I would pick, but names I was scribbling during class today/thought of later/ran into:

Fr. Raphael Mary (OP) is a fantastic name, of a Dominican priest somewhere in the Western Province (USA)

Sr. Maria Trinitatis

Sr. Chiara Poverella (for St. Clare and St. Francis)

Sr. Maria Chiara Poverella

Sr. Maria Plantuncula (for St. Clare, near the end of her life she called herself the "plantuncula francisci", having coined (according to Mother Mary Francis) the word "plantuncula" because "she could not be little enough" (still Mother Francis))

Sr. Maria Florita (for St. Therese)

Sr. Marie Colette

Sr. Emmanuel Marie

 

If I had to pick three and thought of those I might consider them.... Especially 4,5, and 6. But I already posted three. And these harp on the same saints in the previous three. They're just a bit more creative.
