Kylie Spinelli Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (Not just for female religious, men can join in too, I guess ;) ) I like the traditional "Sr. Mary ____" but I want to hear your ideas! What name(s) would you take? I would love to hear all of them! (Also, I may be looking for inspiration... But I also want to hear your names! :D ) God bless!

Starets Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Sr. Mary Bruno :) just kidding. One thing to keep in mind wiht religious names is that superiors are not likely going to let you have a name that is unusual. So if you want Sr. Mary Quithera it is not likely going to happen.

DiscerningCatholic Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have a list of 35. But at the top of the list are Sr. Therese Faustina Sr. Bernadette Caritas Sr. Rita Therese Sr. Regina Angelorum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kateri89 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 A topic that never gets old :hehe2: I hope that I'll be allowed to take Maria as the first name, not only because it's a variation of Mary but also because my confirmation saint is Maria Goretti. Lets see: Sr. Maria Emmanuel Sr. Maria Bakhita Sr. Maria Sophia Sr. Maria Gianna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiquitunga Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/114690-what-do-you-want-your-religious-name-to-be/ :like: I'm afraid to share a few I like, as I feel I won't get them then! :smile3: No but seriously, I'm keeping it private :ninja: whatever God wants of course! I have a friend who entered Dallas Carmel where they receive their names upon entrance as a postulant, and they know what the Prioress decided before entrance (I think they might be able to suggest things/at least I know they can share their favorite saints) Anyway, when I asked her if she liked her name, she said she was not worthy of any name! (but yes, she liked it) I found that inspiring :saint: Edited January 29, 2013 by Chiquitunga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Just for fun: Sr. Mary Peter (because he was so much of a flake at first and then not at all afterward) Sr. Mary Francis (for St. Francis of Assisi) Sr. Mary Paul (for St. Paul of the Cross) I'd expect that those would change before I actually get a name though. :p And if I get a title: of the Cross (or possibly something else but related to the Crucifixion like the Holy Face, the Sacred Heart, or the Passion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Spinelli Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Oh yes, if I get a title, I want it to be along the lines of "Of the Blessed Sacrament" or something to do with the Eucharist <3 :nun1: Hmmm Sr. Monica Therese of the Blessed Sacrament.... ^_^ I like that one so far!

Kylie Spinelli Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Does anyone know if Sisters of Life allow titles at the end of your name? (Like Of the Blessed Sacrament, etc) ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kateri89 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Does anyone know if Sisters of Life allow titles at the end of your name? (Like Of the Blessed Sacrament, etc) ???? I don't know but in every newsletter I've gotten from them, the names of the Sisters don't usually have titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaKoch Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) WOW I was just talking to a friend and was telling him what names I would like and was even telling him about a thread on here on PM! I tried going thru the other thread and could not find the names I listed. What happend to the search feature?

ChristinaTherese Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I don't know but in every newsletter I've gotten from them, the names of the Sisters don't usually have titles. Of course, they could just not say. I know that the Passionists in Whitesville, KY all take titles, but they hardly ever state them. (They (the Passionists) do, however, say that they all take titles on their website.) WOW I was just talking to a friend and was telling him what names I would like and was even telling him about a thread on here on PM! I tried going thru the other thread and could not find the names I listed. What happend to the search feature? Searching just went away a while ago.... Maybe it was slowing things down or something. You might be able to convince Google to search Phatmass for you though. Edited January 29, 2013 by Christina Thérèse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresaThoma Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 So one of my top favorites is Sr Miriam Edith (after St Edith Stein) A couple of my friends are trying to convince me that Sr Stella Maris would be a good name for me (I love astronomy). I'm kind of warming up to the idea. Another name that has been popping up in my head is Sr Miriam Rose. (It just occured to me that Rosa was St Edith's younger sister, lol) The community I am discerning with has a form of Mary in their name but in everyday use that is dropped so the last two would be Sr Stella and Sr Rose. Hmmm not bad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitneyelizabeth Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 my friends came up with a whole list of suggestions when I announced my discernment :proud: some the ones I think about: (though I honestly don't mind what I end up being called, I didn't get to choose my baptismal name but God did and it worked out pretty well :smile4: ) Sr. Francesca (I LOVE St. Francis of Assisi but I really like more feminine names because I'm very glad God made me a woman) Sr. Mary Magdalene (because when she found Jesus after the Resurrection, she wouldn't let Him go) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catholicterp7 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 :hehe2: One of my favorite topics. Sr. Amata Filia, Sr. Leonie Amata, Sr. Amata Marie, Sr. Amata Rose, Sr. Solanus Regina,Sr. Peter John Marie, Sr. Marie Vianney and Sr. Leonie Therese are the current ones. I think for a title I would love to have either "of Christ the High Priest" to reflect my spiritual motherhood for priests or "Of the Holy Wounds" for my devotion all of the wounds but in particular the knee and shoulder wounds.
