Didn't Iggy claim that name when we made up the phatmass religious community, PPC (Phatmass Phemale Community)?

I'm not sure, I've joked about that name before here, but I actually suggested it to my Mother Superior (not seriously)... she just chuckled...

I wonder how Mother A. would feel if I put that on my list for religious names...

Sr. Mary Christmas

Ok, seriously, though: since I love Christmas so much, I seriously considered Sr. Marie Noelle ...

But my choices were:
Sr. Faustina Marie
Sr. Marie Therese (ended up being the middle names of my daughter, Clare)
Sr. Mary Magdalene
I got Sr. Mary Faustina of Our Lady of Mercy


Ok, so I'm not discerning, but I do love names!

[DiscerningCatholic]

Sr. Mary Christmas... LOLOLOLOLOL I love it!

I know a Sr. Mary Magdalene... I miss her... And Marie Therese was the first part of St. Therese's name!

[Julie de Sales]

Sister Julia of the Agony of Christ

[Kayte Postle]

If I had to choose right now...

Sr. Katie Maria Faustina of Divine Mercy

....but if/when I enter a community I would love for the name to be chosen for me, I smell of elderberries at making decisions.

When I was being Clothed a million years ago, we (our group) had to submit 3 choices for our proposed new names.
I submitted Elizabeth, Rose, and Francis, and was really fortunate when I received my 3rd choice, and became Sr Francis Marie of the Holy Faith.

Two postulants in our group chose names that Mother felt were not edifying, or appropriate, so she chose their names for them! One became Sr Gertrude Mary, the other - Sr Ligouri Agathe.

Both reverted to their baptismal names a few years later!

Sr Ligouri Agathe?!? Quite a mouthful. I'd really have to get used to that if someone gave me that name. I can't say I'd like it...
