How is Bede pronounced? Bead? Beh-dee? Bee-dee?
I've just realised you can't have siblings called Hebe and Bede, can you? Confused

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

Scholastica
Ambrose
Catherine
Lucy
Bernadette
Hildegard
Josephine
Philomena
Apollonia
Cecilia
Ingrid

Tecla, girl's name. I love it.

@Classica

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 🙄😆

Mark and Luke are my favourites

SpareBread · 01/09/2021 19:23

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.
