vee Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 grrrrrr I will just pray I end up somewhere that already has a Sister Therese, which wont be hard because most places already do, and can thus avoid having her name! So there! Id also be fine with a place that lets me choose my own name since Ive already picked that out that as well and it has nothing to do with any Teresa.

Maximilianus Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 [quote name='dominicansoul' timestamp='1294768101' post='2199000'] Sr. Marie Terese, that's gonna be your name... [/quote] I am a big fan of the saints that carry the Teresa series of names, but it's gotten to be a bit ubiquitous. Vee's name should be Sister Edburgha Hildegard Bertheid Lioba Abra. Sister Eddy for short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnavarro61 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 how about Marissa? I know of a nun named Marissa. That means Mary and Therese joined together. How is that? or Sr. Mary Burgundofara Hermenegilda del Santissimo Rosario, OCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 How about Sr. Bogumiła? Which in Polish, means, "Favored of God." (I know a Siostra Bogumiła.) pronounced "bo go me wa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnavarro61 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 or Sr. Mary Star of the Sea. Then you will be nicknamed Sr. Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithLuin Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hehe, there's a Sr. Precious Blood who goes by 'Precious' And I thought 'Sr. Miriam' was a good way to by-pass the understandably common 'Sr. Mary' Though you don't always know what will be there already. My sister thought for sure that when joining a Polish order, 'Sr. Faustina' would be taken. It wasn't In her case, they asked her to submit two choices she liked, and then they would assign her a name. I suppose if they didn't like the choices, they could just pick whatever they wanted, but she got her first choice. There are many awesome saints named Therese, of course, but I would have no desire to carry her name. If I ever had the opportunity to, I might name a daughter after St. Clare.
