Looking for a confirmation name. I really thought hard about choosing John Paul and Thomas (Aquinas) but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I’m really looking for saints that were either (a) martyred (b) specifically known to be humble (c) miracle workers [during their lives]. I know that doesn’t really narrow the list down but those are the three areas I’m looking into. Thanks

St Nicholas is (b) and (c).
 
I recommend St. Chad of Lichfield, St. Menas of Egypt, and St. Nino of Cappadocia.

Other wonderworking saints are Aidan of Lindisfarne, Great Martyr Anastasia Pharmakolitria, Anthony of the Kiev Caves, Beuno the Wonderworker, Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, Dymphna, Gerasimos of the Jordan, Gregory of Neocaesarea, Guthlac of Crowland, Haralampus of Magnesia, Hospitius the Hermit, Irene Chrysovalantou, Jacob of Nisibis, James the Faster, John Climacus, John of Rila, Luke of Sicily, Luke the Younger, Mary of Egypt, Mathurin of Larchant, Naum of Preslav, Nicetas the Confessor, Nicholas of Myra, Paraskeve the New, Paraskevi, Patrick of Ireland, Peter of Argos, Sisoes the Great, Spyridon of Trimythous, and Theodosius the Great.
