Conversion and Chrismation names

[Orthodoxjay1]

I'm going to have to listen to more kinds of chant than I'm currently familiar with. Our main chanter is from Greece, trained there, VERY good, and when he is there, we are hearing it like they do in Greece. I'm very comfortable with that now, but in the beginning I could barely pick out any words sometimes.

And autocorrect - ahhhhh! Someone PLEASE tell my devices that I usually DO mean more and for just AS I TYPED IT and NOT to change them to mire and fir! (LOL, THAT time it changed fir to for! I see, it just assumes I always get it wrong!?!?!) It is forever changing out have and gave, and nearly always makes has into gas. Such sommon words, ugh! And I DO usually mean God, not "a god" as it often changes. I thought these things were supposed to be "smart" ... smart-aleky maybe, lol!

Then again, maybe SIRI is behind it all. She's given me some pretty smart-alecky replies lately too, lol.

Amen on the auto-correct, my phone types out all kinds of wiredness with auto correct, and I' would still be spelling it the correct way

I'm guessing there are multiple small t traditions. I wasn't told by my priest or sponsors who I should choose...I was just told to pick a female saint! Perhaps it depends on the parish, priest, jurisdiction, etc.

Ok, all this chant and gun talking has got ikutosemo stuck in my head. I am use to Japanese chant and I don't even know what ikutosemo is in English. As for guns, my grandpa was a gunsmith. If I was stateside, I'd go with a revolver. Just traditional like that

My name was chosen even before I was a catechumen. My name is the celtic version of Micheal, so the priest started calling me Mihail.
