Hello, I’m in the RCIA program at my parish and I’m getting confirmed and would like some help in answering this question… Can I use Lourdes or Fatima as my confirmation name?
I have always felt devoted to Mary and would like to take her name on but my favorite apparition story is Our lady of Lourdes and Our lady of Fatima. I wasn’t sure if it is allowed to use Lourdes or Fatima. Or if I had to just use Mary and hyphen Lourdes or Fatima? Any suggestions or help on this is greatly appreciated.
 
Hi,

Both are acceptable–as is Guadalupe.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
