When I was in seminary, I took my first religious vows as a Subdeacon and took the name of Thomas Francis Bartholomew. Thomas for the Apostle Thomas (the doubtful), Francis for St. Francis, the first person to bear the marks of the Stigmata, and the Apostle Bartholomew. I still use this name in my religious daily life as a Prelate and Metropolitan Archbishop privately. Publicly I go by my birth name.
What’s the story behind your nickname?
