Hi, there is no source for the claim that Protestants wear it? I figure this is like "the Rosary is said by Catholics and Protestants" - trivial or worthy of comment and a source.--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 18:54, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Confusion about baptismal and saint's names?[edit]
In the first paragraph of "Childhood and youth", the article makes two assertions that appear to conflict:
"Her baptismal name was Zoe"
"Catherine was her baptismal name."
No sources are given for either assertion.
According to the document cited in footnote 4 of the article, she was born on 2nd May:
"Next day, the feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross, she was baptized and given the name Catherine, though she was always called Zoe, probably in honour of the Saint on whose feast she was born." (p.4)
This statement seems to contradict the claims in the article "Her baptismal name was Zoe, after Saint Zoe, whose feast day falls on her birthday, but her family rarely used that name."
It appears that Catherine was her baptismal name, and Zoe was more akin to a "saint's name". And it appears that the family used Zoe, not Catherine, contrary to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IAKenny (talk • contribs) 07:37, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi and thanks for your comments. In response to your comments, I have added a Catholic source which confirms that Catherine’s baptismal name was Zoé. I eliminated the reference to Saint Zoé (of Attila) because, first, it is somewhat speculative and, second, there are so many Saint Zoé’s that it can be confusing.
