Thank you all!

I am aware there are soooo many Grin

My DH is Catholic (I am not religious per se, but spiritual in some ways), and we would like to use a Saint name for our baby. Only ttc at the moment, but there are so many to consider that I thought I better start now! Blush

I know for sure that I love Isidore.

Catholicism has a loooooooot of saints. There's even an obscure Irish saint called Saint Tallulah which I always find amusing.
I now have an ear worm 🙄😆

As someone said above, there are so many Catholic saints! I'm Catholic and although you don't actually need to use a saint's name at baptism anymore, it's one of my criteria for baby names. So these are all the names we've seriously considered/used, all saints:

Mariana
Madeleine
Clara
Christina
Cecilia

Lawrence
Alexander
Lucas
Stefan
Maximilian
