I had a question, hopefully you could help me with it. Apparently on my baptism document, (which i have never seen-nor do my parents have) I had a name that i have never used. My parents told me this, unfortunately, after my husband sent our info. I dont have it on my passport, my diploma, nothing- and I am ordering my birth certificate from a different country- not sure if it is on there. my parents dont seem to remember either. I have never used that name; I am not even sure of the spelling, they have yet to review our papers from what I could tell- no noa1 or anything else- should i send them an explanation now or wait to see if the name is on my birth certificate??

i am confused and stressed, any info would be helpful!

Thank you AND GOOD LUCK

In the Catholic church especially, a child is given a 'confirmation name.' This is not a legal name, just a name that the church can recognize you by (the child usually takes the name of a Saint). After confirmation in the church, I don't know anyone who has used that name for anything.

It sounds like you'll have to wait to see the birth certificate before you can confirm whether any conflict exists.
