Confirmation Names

When I was at St. Stephens I was confirmed. I chose the name "Thomas" for a reason. Just curious, anyone else confirmed and what was your name and reason for choosing it?

I choose Thomas, ironically, because I doubted everything I was being told. I questioned it, held it at arms length, recited but did not believe it, can still recite the Mass today. I understand that Dad can recite it in Latin. Jim and I did the altar boy thing together, but I never really embraced it. I spent years looking for the answer only to go back to my Catholic roots and have Jesus show me the holes in His hands.

I have no idea what names any of you chose. I'd like to know.

Waaaay back in the 3rd grade when I was confirmed I chose the name Elizabeth. I have no idea why though. Mom didn't like it...maybe thats why I did it.
