Hi everyone! Happy Easter!!
Today I’m thinking about characters in stories written by Catholic authors who go through a name change during the story (the characters, not the authors). I’ve got Joy from Flannery O’Connor’s “Good Country People” on my list, but that’s it! I have no other ideas … is it because there are no other characters that fit this description? Anything from Chesterton or Greene or Waugh, or any other authors known to be Catholic? Thanks!!
I’m back on hiatus from doing consultations (though check back from time to time, as I hope to open up a few spots here and there as I’m able), but Theresa Zoe Williams is available to help you! Email her at TheresaZoeWrites@gmail.com to set up your own consultation! (Payment methods remain the same.)
For help with Marian names, my book, Catholic Baby Names for Girls and Boys: Over 250 Ways to Honor Our Lady (Marian Press, 2018), is available to order from ShopMercy.org and Amazon (not affiliate links). It’s perfect for expectant parents, name enthusiasts, and lovers of Our Lady!
Sancta Nomina 
Betty Smith, author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (and other great novels!), was Catholic. In that book, the main character is Francie Nolan. She later finds out her name is really Mary-Frances even though her parents never use it, later takes the name Katherine at her confirmation, and decides to use M. Frances K. Nolan when she first publishes her writing.
