Dunno about requirement as in the whole “clean boxers” / “decent shoes” kinda context :roll: , but yes, certainly within the whole Catholic framework it was (and is in almost every case) very much a national / religious form of custom / tradition .. not to mention a Church Definite!

Bear with me .. it’s Ireland :roll:

My original middle name is Luke.. which kinda gained some street cred in the 70s with the whole Skywalker gig (though I would’ve much prefered Han).

My Confirmation name is one I had freedom to pick for myself.. Alexander.. coz I was reading quite a bit about the Great one at the time :P

Ps.. clean boxers and Catholicism :roll: .. let’s NOT go there :?

^^ :lol: :lol:

Well my middle name is Mary, we “supposed to choose our confirmation name, Ha! my dad had other ideas, not content with sticking me with a name like Dawn Mary, he only goes and puts Agnes Bernadette on my confirmation slip!!! Never in all my life was I so ashamed! Didnt forgive him for years

AND YOU ALL CAN QUIT LAUGHING AT MY CACK NAMES!!!!!!!

Ha its easy how quickly you can go off people you know!!!!

my oldest is called ashleigh, no idea where it came from it just popped into my head! after i had her i said she was called rachel but then another midwife came into the room to check on us asked her name and i said ‘ashleigh’ no idea why but i thought to myself well she must just look like an ashleigh so it stuck. she gets ash most of the time :roll:

my boy is called lewis but i soooo want to call him liam, for weeks after he was born i wanted to change it but bf wouldnt have it. i still think he should have been liam 8 years later. we argued over names until the day he was going to be registered and i just said ‘lewis’ he said ‘yeah ok’ so we went in and registered him. he says now he wishes we’d called him liam :lol:
