My patron Saints are typically more well-known, but I'll post them here anyways:
- Timothy, my Confirmation name. I chose the name in honor of my mother's brother, who had died a few months before my confirmation, and, obviously, to honor St. Timothy (Head of the Church in Ephesus).
- Nicholas - I was born on December 6, feast of Saint Nicholas.
- Brendan - my given name. Chosen in honor of St. Brendan the navigator. St. Brendan and his brothers figure in Brendan's Voyage, a tale of monks traveling the high seas of the Atlantic, evangelizing to the islands, possibly reaching the Americas in the 6th century.

Great post and such wonderful saints!! My two patron saints are St. Teresa of Avila and St. Mary Magdalene, whom I chose at Confirmation, as a reminder that sinners can be saved :-)
