Saints. Content Warning.
Baptized into the Catholic Church & named after Paul the Apostle, my parents were hellbent on naming my brother and I after the Apostles, yet my sisters seemed to get the sloppy seconds as far as the grab bag of biblical names go. Eve, Mary, and Delilah didn’t seem like a good fit for them. Maybe they were the lucky ones. Maybe that paved the way for them to be heathens, non-believers, or maybe they were just typical Catholic school girls who cut up before, during, and after school.
