Michelle. Seeing as Michael was my Confirmation name, I've got two similar names in my whole name.

Holy Necro of No Shame!

I might've said it before, but mine is Hunter.

[quote="Deacon";p="433565"]What's this "Confirmation name" of which you speak, Tril?[/quote]

In the Catholic faith (and maybe others...), when you receive the Sacrament of Confirmation you choose a second middle name (your confirmation name) - mirroring the fact that you receive your first middle name when you receive the Sacrament of Baptism.

For my confirmation name I "re-chose" my Baptismal name; I'm Ronald Anthony Anthony Pasko. :)

Mine are Daniel and Holm. Though Holm is a middle-last name, or what the fuck.
I hate having so many names.
Should I stick with Daniel Holm, or should I revert to my old name?
Then I would be Daniel Taylor.
I think I'll do that.

Whole name is Arne Daniel Holm Erlingsen.

According to http://www.behindthename.com it just means 'helper' or 'defender', mankind doesn't show up in the meaning there.

Yeah, but I rarely use it. While I'm not ashamed of it, and I think it's a cool name in its own right, I don't think it goes with my first name.

Yeah, what he said. I'm not exactly the most Catholic person anymore, so usually I just don't include it in my name.

Yeah, I have that name, too. I don't adhere to the Catholic teachings, but I like the history and the names. So my name taken at Confirmation was, and still is, José.

Alvin, for my biological father.

I've always been happy it wasn't Kevin or another K, because then I'd be KKK instead of KAK.
