I wasn't baptised/christened as a baby. but baptised by immersion when I was old enough to decide I wanted to be a Christian. Anne

What exactly does being confirmed mean please? Stella

Not christened and not confirmed. Not bothered, either!

mine is bernadette,i think she's the one who helps sufferers. i only converted to rc about 6 years ago and am still learning the ropes.

Mines Frances, because I liked the stories of St Francis and the animals! My mums is Philomena

I have!!! Mine is Elizabeth Mary Took two to be different from my mates....priest was not happy coz when the bishop came to one of our prep classes I asked could I have two names and he said no reason why not and what were they I said Elizabeth Mary and he said perfect you go ahead and stick it on your paper so I remember it when it's your turn. Priest was not impressed at me going straight to the top about it when he'd said no!!! lol lol RDA.x.

No, haven't been confirmed. What is confirmation and what does it mean? Sorry, but can't see the point of it. Stella

I was confirmed way-back-when but was C of E so didn't have a different name. I was the first person confirmed in a brand new Church though! Chris

I think that when i was young!!(52 and feeling82!!) the school drumed it into you. My parents where not practising Cathlics but at least i was baptised. I was a bit of a wild child and i think they thought a bit of religous displine would go a long way. NAH!!!!!! I was still a wild child when i left school, but has the years have past i seem to have mellowed. Maybe it has something to do with having children of my own. I have not had them baptised or confirmed because i decided to let them think for themselves. I believe, i have told my children that i believe. The choice is theirs. Vanessa

Ahh Viv!!! Don`t be ashamed!!! Vanessa

Nope! havent been in a church since I was a kid appart from ships services where we had no choice, I am now an Odinist. Len

I was confirmed, but being Church of Wales , we are not given a name when we are confirmed., except the name you were given when you were baptised. I still love going to church.

I'm not christened or confirmed. *hangs head in shame and runs away and hides* Viv

Ann Snap! Mine is Bernadette too!

Iam Confirmed,I was confirmed at Manchester cathedral In 1970,we dont have confirmation names Im an Anglican Catholic.(or should say was):-))

I was confirmed when I was 14 in a c of e church. Believe in God but find Churches difficult. Cazxx

I am confirmed (C of E) For some strange reason I thought I should take on the vows my godparents took on my behalf when I was christened It now means that if I sin I am only responsible to myself, and am not causing grief to those kind souls that stood up as godparents when I was a babe Strange reason I know, but then some would say I am a strange person Dee ;-)))))

Yes i have many moons ago mine is Bernadette So full name then became Ann Elizabeth Bernadette Ann
