Thank you for starting this thread. I was hoping to ask a related question if it's okay. What if someone wishes to convert to Orthodoxy but their name is not a saint's name? There are so many glorious saints, how does one decide or maybe does someone else decide who will be the patron saint for the new convert?
And another question: how do I know which saint, with my Christian name, is the one that is my patron saint? I usually pray the "patron saint" prayer but don't know whom it's for. My kids were given patron saint icons with their saints so we know who they are, it's just me and my husband are a bit confused here...

Respectfully yours,
Maria Murray
