35 Saints' Names Rarely Picked for Confirmation

I want video of the Bishop saying these names as they Confirm someone.

NOTE: In making this list, I do not intend to ridicule the Saints or those they intercede for. Rather, the list is made in fun. We Christians need to be able to laugh at ourselves. As G.K. Chesteron told us,
"Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly"
No names are made up.
