To Mass55th, who wrote, "When I was born, my parents never bothered to give me a middle name, but as a Catholic going through your First Holy Communion, you are required (at least you were back then), to pick a name."

I have also been Catholic all my life, I'm 70 now, however, we didn't choose a name when we made our First Communion in the second grade, we chose a saintly name when we were confirmed, I was in the seventh grade at the time. And I lived in the La Crosse diocese in Wisconsin.

I suppose different dioceses do it differently.
