If You Could Pick Your New Religious Name, What Would It Be?

My favorite name would be Sr. Maria Emmanuel but I'd be quite happy with Sr. Maria Cecilia, Sr. Maria Bakhita, or Sr. Maria Therese...I just want Maria to be the first name  :proud:

Many beautiful names!!!!  This is fun.  I LOVED the title ..."of Mary, Refuge of Sinners."  May have to think about that one.

 

My names:

Sr. Mary Juliana of God  (from Blessed Juliana  of the Corpus Christi Feast)

 

Sr, Chiara Mary of the Mercy of God

 

Sr. Maria Trinitas of His Holy Face

 

 

The PCC's of Rockford and Minooka allow a postulant to submit 3 names OR to permit the Abbess to choose.

Love your first selection, Maximillion...and also:

 

Sr. Aimee of Jesus

Sr. Marie-Josephe

Sr. Noelle Marie

 

I've recently been introduced to the beautiful devotion to Mary, Undoer of Knots.  Wonder how that could be worked

into a name...!

Sr. Mary Joan

 

Joan of Arc has always been one of my many favorite saints.  Plus I always like to think myself as tough but if I ever got into a religious community I'd prolly look like a pussy cat!  I'd allow the Holy Spirit to work on the Rev. Mother Prioress and pick my new religious name.  I just hope it's not ugly!

Not necessarily names I would pick, but names I was scribbling during class today/thought of later/ran into:

Fr. Raphael Mary (OP) is a fantastic name, of a Dominican priest somewhere in the Western Province (USA)

Sr. Maria Trinitatis

Sr. Chiara Poverella (for St. Clare and St. Francis)

Sr. Maria Chiara Poverella

Sr. Maria Plantuncula (for St. Clare, near the end of her life she called herself the "plantuncula francisci", having coined (according to Mother Mary Francis) the word "plantuncula" because "she could not be little enough" (still Mother Francis))

Sr. Maria Florita (for St. Therese)

Sr. Marie Colette

Sr. Emmanuel Marie

 

If I had to pick three and thought of those I might consider them.... Especially 4,5, and 6. But I already posted three. And these harp on the same saints in the previous three. They're just a bit more creative.
