Confirmation Names for Boys
Confirmation is a religious rite which is supplemental to baptism, by which a person is admitted to the full privileges of the Church. Special confirmation names for Boys are chosen in many English and German speaking countries for a boy being confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church (and some Anglican dioceses). It is customary for a boy to adopt the name of a saint as a protector and a guide, although it is also permissible to choose the name of a male saint. Saint's names adopted as confirmation names are often used in conjunction with the middle name, but Confirmation names are without effect in civil law, unless, the appropriate legal routes are followed.

Only the Roman Catholic Church has an official process for creating saints. Patron Saints are those holy and virtuous men and women who are considered to be a defender of a specific group of people or of a nation.

A Christian martyr is regarded as one who is put to death for his Christian faith or convictions. Confessors are Roman Catholic Saints who died natural deaths.
