FULL Catholic name

Well, I don't want to publish it publicly for my own reasons, so there is a limit to the guessing game. If it were something I did not specifically want to keep hidden, I'd play along later and I'd give the most irritating hints designed to be true, yet deceptive.

I understand your desire for privacy, especially in the internet world. 

Guessing game over.

It's enough for me to have narrowed it down some.

Perhaps you'll share it with me privately some day.   :-)

Perhaps?

I guess you don't check your PMs. I sent a PM with more details about it before your offspring posted.

Well guessed Orate

After I married, I had no trouble changing my name...except in the Army.  I had dropped my middle name and added my husband's.  Our adm sgt at the time refused to do this.  He first changed my name to first/middle/married.  When I told him that I had retained my maiden name he changed it to first/middle/maiden/married.  I brought him my new SS card, and he finally, tho unwillingly, changed it to first/maiden/married.

When I was baptized (as an adult) I was given the name Genevieve by our priest (I don't use this name mostly b/c I'm unsure of how to plug it in).  He also Latinized our youngest daughter's middle name (from Josephine to Josefina with the J pronounced as Y) during her baptism.  My favorite example of this sort is Mozart.  He was baptized Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart.  Theophilus is greek, but he also went by the Latin (Amadeus) and German (Gottlieb).  I think his full Catholic name is rather cool (altho he'd have a heck of a time filling out paperwork nowadays).

I always loved Mozart's whole name... and then there were all the Bachs with their awesome double names - Johann Christian, Johann Sebastian, Wilhelm Friedemann. They had such nice names back then. Marie-Antoinette of France was born Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna... pity she only used two names after she went to France...
