By the way my confirmation name is Albert.

I know one man named Albert. He is a very nice man. We Anglicans don't give confirmation names. I have no idea where that practice came from or why we don't do it.

Must be some devious popery. :-)

The concept is to select a saint's name whom you would like to emulate and/or have as your protector. Probably the saint connection gave someone the heebie jeebies.
