"worthy for me??" but we are not worthy of Jesus, it is by grace we come to God through Him
I like Augustine the doctor of grace Augustine, the doctor of grace might be fitting for someone looking for someone 'worthy for you"
wasn't there a guy named Damien who worked at a leper colony? I bet he was humble and nice St George Mueller the founder of the British orphanage system? St WIlliam WIberforce who brought down slavery int he west? St Jonathan Edwards the greatest of American theologians?
St Tyndale who was strangled as a professional curtesy because he was a Catholic priest and then burnt for translating the scriptures into English... those might be good ideas. St CS Lewis one of the best apologists of the 20th century? St. GK Chesterton?

Since all Christians in the New Testament were saints, you can use any name then or now for a Christian and it will be the name of a saint.

I've always been fond of the name ANTHONY. But I know a couple of guys named FABIAN who are rather intelligent; yes there is a Saint Fabian. I guess it would help to know your first name; not that the two names are ever used together, but I like to make my names flow well w/ each other. PAUL, PETER, JOSEPH, JOSHUA, JUSTIN, ANDREW, TIMOTHY.... I hope I've given you something to consider now.

Worthy of you? You're kidding right. I teach confirmation and you need to go back and review. My advice is find the patron saint of humility and pick that one, and no I'm not kidding.

About Saint Gabriel?... He was the Archangel pimp who sweet talked the Blessed Virgin Mary into a sexual encounter with God the Holy Ghost that resulted in her pregnancy with Jesus...

For men I always say St. Maximilian Kolby---great modern day Saint who lost his life in the Nazi death camps. He was a Catholic priest who gave up his life for a Jewish man who had children---wonderful story---please read it---he can be St. Max to you.
