Is it true that you can make a male saint name female if there is no saint for the female name?

Question

I should explain this more clearly. For example, There is a Saint Claud and i wish to have that saint but would like it to be the female name CLAUDIA instead. (This is for a confirmation). So again, there is no Saint Claudia but a Saint Claud and i like what Saint Claud has done (in paryerful way) but would like the female version of his name. I hope that makes it clearer for you

Answer 1

Are you trying to choose a Confirmation name?? The reason you do that is to have someone in heaven praying for you - and also someone whose life, legend, or legacy impacts you or makes you want to be like them. . . .
You can choose either a male or female saint for your Confirmation name, altho' more girls have picked out male Saints' names than guys picking female names. Anyway, you should think carefully and prayerfully about which Saint you'll choose to be your prayer partner in Heaven!!
(At our church, it can also be the name of someone in our family - like a grandma, etc. . . .) We believe that there are many Saints, not all of them have been Canonized!!

Answer 2

I think of Mother Teresa, and of course Mary - though they are not considered Saints. Oh, wait - what about St. Cecelia - that was a church in my neighborhood when I was growing up. And St. Catherine (I know Lake St. Catherine in VT). There must be more...

Answer 3

Well if you are talking about the pope, in the Christian Holy Bible it tells us a male is the leader of the Church a woman is not to lead as a preacher, but for Catholic I am not sure, but their never been a woman Pope, so I am guessing they believe this also..
