Some Anglo-Catholics probably do. Bearing a saint's name is not at all common. What is more common is feeling some sort of affinity to Saints who were celebrated on particular days of significance in your sacramental life. For instance, my ordination to the priesthood occurred on the feast day of Blessed William Tyndale. It is a day I celebrate each year and remind my colleagues of, both those who shared in the day (there were 3 of us who were ordained that day) and those who participated in another year (the following year we ordained 2 more men on the feast day).

How can you say that saints names are uncommon?

nearly all European names are saints names …
