Talk:Saint's name

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What on earth does slavery have to do with modern first names? The article mentions it then doesn't explain. =\ This needs work. --Jen Moakler 00:49, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

This article says "The custom of giving the name of a saint goes back to the earliest days of the Church, and is required by Canon law" However, in baptism, it is not required to name a child after a saint. Any name can be given. It is said that the name given must not be offensive to the Catholic Church. KMRC 21:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I was told that Saint Names were not given at Baptism, but at Confirmation. Can someone please confirm this? Fatpratmatt 12:54, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

The notability of the subject is currently unclear, since no independent sources have been cited. I am sure that can be done (but am unable to do so myself). Please add reliable sources. For the time being, I am replacing the "importance" tag with "notability".
