Victoria.
Not a saint and the church didnt really care what I chose as long as it got me out of religion classes. I think it had something to do with the fact that in my confirmation paper I wrote "Jesus was a cool dude, he died for his people" 
I chose Victoria as well. She was actually a saint.
There is very little known about St. Victoria. With her sister Anatolia, she refused importunate suitors. Both were imprisoned and starved by their suitors but persisted in refusing marriage. Anatolia was converted to Christianity and converted many in Picenum before being denounced for her faith, for which she was tortured and executed at Thora on Lake Velino in Italy. When Victoria refused to sacrifice to pagan gods, she too was executed, perhaps at Tribulano. The guard was converted by their example and was also martyred. Their whole story is probably a pious myth, though they did actually live. Feast day is December 23rd.

Faith
I originally chose Faith and then my mom persuaded me to change it so I went with Victoria.
It had something to do with the fact that my sponsor had belonged to some cult-like church for a while and the friend who got her into it was named Faith. My sponsor was able to pull away from the cult and came back to the Catholic church, but Mom thought I shouldn't use Faith.
