[size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Thank goodness for Phatmass. I no longer feel ridiculous for having a growing list of religious names as an email thread in my inbox. :hehe:

The order I'm applying to always contains a Marian derivative, but that hasn't stopped me from just putting together a list.

My favorite at the moment, I think, is something like Sr. Mary, Mother of Truth, and I'd want everyone to call me "Sr. Truth." :proud: Dominican motto, FTW.

Beyond that: [background=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969)]Clare, Margaret, Diana, Imelda, Hosanna, Fidelis (Fidelity), Immaculata, Thea, Felicity (Felicitas), Veritas, Pia, etc. At the same time, I want it more than anything to reflect an identity, so I'm sure it would change during postulancy.

Are you applying to the Servants of the Lord and Virgin of Matara (SSVM)? TeresaBenedicta, a former member here, entered there just recently and I believe she is already a novice. She made us aware of the Marian derivatives that her order takes like [i]Sr. Maria, Mater Boni Remedii[/i] or [i]Sr. Mary Lily of the Valley[/i]. :)

You can always brainstorm! :)

Do you have a special devotion? A lot of orders require some variation of 'Mary' in their religious name.

My (blood) sister's name is 'Faith' which doesn't seem to be a common Catholic name. I thought of being 'Sr Faith' but that would get confusing with my sister. Regardless, I love that people on here are thinking of incorporating the virtues of hope, grace, etc into their name!

No. I do love the Servidoras, though, and they (along with the Sisters of Life and the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal) will always have a special place in my heart. They have a number of convents in NYC, and I've spent a lot of time with them. A good friend of mine entered just last week!

I'm applying to a contemplative community. Until I'm accepted, I'll keep it private. :)

Aw, how wonderful! Congrats! I am a huge fan of the Franciscans of the Renewal and the Sisters of Life. However, I know I am not called to either of them (though I really wish I was called to the CFRs sometimes). I am discerning with an order that has it's roots in Russia and is now based in Europe. It's a missionary congregation. If God permits me to enter there, I will reveal the name of the order to the phorum, but right now I'm keeping it personal. :)

I think they would be terrified of me

Them being terrified of you is unavoidable. Choose whatever name you like.
