Can I choose an unrecognized angel as my patron saint?

I have heard of angels other than the main three archangels and I was wondering if I could choose an angel other than one of those three. I am specifically interested in the Angel Cassiel, but not because they are an angel. I’m not sure if it’s okay to choose this Saint(?)/angel for confirmation.
 
Your Confirmation Saint must be canonized, and thus recognised, in the Church. So the answer is probably not. Sorry!

From the material I could find, there’s not too much Catholic commentary on him- he’s primarilt referenced in Judaism and in some occult literature. So, unless you can find some good Catholic sources concerning him, it looks doubtful.
 
The only named angels recognized by the Church are Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.
 
I know this. I am just try puzzled at the OP why aim for an angel, ignore 3 Archangels who are recognized, and not a human saint, just say “I am want this angel but not because he is angel.” Maybe certain characteristics he or she is aiming for can be found in Catholic Saints.
 
If the angel is not recognized, then by definition, we do not have a guarantee that the angel actually exists or is who someone may claim he is.

Why would you select a patron saint who may or may not exist, or of whom you know next to nothing?
 
No idea on this in relation to cannonicity or licit proscription, sorry. However, even for Michael, Gabriel and Raphael an angel seems poorly matched to the act of Confirmation and patronage. Holy Angels are not ignorant nor indifferent to The Sacraments. They know how to keep them holy in always seeing the face of God.
But your patron should bring you along the path opened by the grace of Confirmation. I see an angel as a “second guardian angel” in this context. Of course a Holy Angel would do God’s Will as perfectly as possible. Yet a human saint would have a personal experiential quality that an angel could not know. For this understanding of the action of The Holy Spirit in our lives a human saint seems appropriate.
Perhaps your desire for an angel as patron is a reflection of a broken relationship with your guardian angel? Do you pray for light and guidance from your protector?
May God bless you as you receive Confirmation.
 
I would say no.

Why do you want an unrecognized angel as your patron saint?
 
The only three angels that we are permitted to recognize in this way would be St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael.
You can also pray to your Guardian Angel, but as your Guardian Angel is unnamed and not officially recognized by the Church, you can’t pick that angel as your confirmation saint.

The Vatican restricted the veneration of angels at some point, due to concerns about “angel worship”.

There is no requirement that a Confirmation name be the name of a saint.

It can be any name that expresses the Christian faith. Indeed, many names that are now saints names began as expressions of the faith first. A good example of this is the 3 sisters who were names “Faith, Hope, and Charity” and who later became saints. Many such names began as expressions of the Faith: Athanasius means resurrection (literally immortal or undead).

I can think of many names used at Confirmation over the years that are not strictly-speaking given names of saints: Immaculata, Conception, Angel, Guadalupe, Chastity, etc. etc.

Picking a Confirmation name and picking a patron saint are not necessarily the same thing, even though we often combine those two ideas.

Choosing the name “Cassiel” as a confirmation name to express “speed of God” (the meaning of the name) is not a problem.

If someone wanted a confirmation name “Lumen Christi” to express the Light of Christ, that would not be a problem, even though there’s no canonized saint with that name (not that I’m aware, anyway). Just an example.

However, it would be problematic to choose the name Cassiel as a patron saint because there is no such saint; and indeed, the name is used by the occult—making this a very non-Christian choice.
 
Cassiel is not recognized in any Apostolic Christian Church.

You could choose Uriel, Jehudiel, Barachiel or Selaphiel - they are recognized as Archangels in the Byzantine Catholic Churches.
