But I miss those old nun names
Sister Bob and Sister Ray

Sister Mary Argelorie

They don't make nun names
Like that no more
No more cool nun names

Yeah, where have you gone, nuns of yesteryear?
Yeah, the Assistant Principal, Attila The Nun
Yeah, Sister Mary Rasputin - I hope you haven't shaved your beard
Yeah, my Anthropology nun, Sister Mary Bigfoot
My Music teacher, Sister Mary Ocarina - boy, she could play it all: blues, jazz, disco...

Yes somehow a name like "Sister Mary Immaculata of the Holy Spirit" carries a bit more "oomph" than something like "Sister Jane Doe".

The Principal of my high school (1967-1971) was Sister Mary Corona. I think of her when ever I drink Mexican beer

These nun names are new to me as I did not grow up Catholic. Some are quite amusing though.

Best religious name would be Brother Joseph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary under the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ the Incarnate Son of God of Nazareth of Israel.
