when you are baptized in the orthodoxy church, the priest gives you a name of a saint

I'm orthodox and i can tell you that priest does not give you the new name. they give names only to people who are staying to work in church- patriarchs, bishops etc.

First, read Acts 17:11.
Now find in the Bible where a "priest" is supposed to give you a new name.
Then believe the Bible, not some man who wears lacey dresses and pointy hats.

Well, when my sister almost coverted to Catholicism she was able to pick her own. Why don't you talk it over with your preist?
