Tabitha or Dorcas

[Ladyofthehouse]

I will be entering the Church this Easter Vigil. I have to choose a saint for confirmation and have decided upon St. Tabitha. Which of her names is preferred by the Catholic Church, St. Tabitha or St. Dorcas?

Since she used both names, no reason why you cannot, either.

I don’t see why you couldn’t even use the English form “Gazelle”.

I don’t know, but I think Tabitha sounds prettier.
