Saint Cecelia cause she's the patron Saint of musicians and its one of my fave Foo Fighters songs.

PepsiMaxandPringleStacks · 12/07/2022 16:39

I think you need to look into the patronages if you're naming after a saint. EG Saint Flora patron saint of single women ..

I love Alix for a girl. It's very modern sounding but with a long heritage, all the little girls I know named Alix are simply lovely, too. I also like Clotilde, and for general Catholic-inspired names: Sistine/ Sixtine, Romaine, Gabrielle, Raphaelle, and versions of Mary: Marie, Maria, Marion, Marian, Miriam, Marième. Lots of lovely choice :)
