St Anthony - patron saint of lost things. I always pray to him when something gets lost! A brilliant saint to know...
St Jude - patron saint of lost causes. When all else appears to have failed, St jude comes up trumps!

When we pray to saints, we are asking them to pray for us, the same as any Christian would ask another Christian to pray for them.
I like St. Francis of Assisi, and St Thomas Moore.
I suggest you read this paper on praying to the saints:

St.Florien- Patron saint of fire fighters
St.Patrick- Patron saint of Ireland
St.Francis of Icisi- I think he's the Patron saint of animals, but that's probably wrong.
