While celebrities are idols to many — playing the roles of action heroes, making audiences laugh, and impressing the world with their athletic prowess — the choice of names they give their offspring says a lot about what matters to them in their most important role: being a parent.

In the case of these 11 well-known men and women, their Catholic faith played a strong role in the choice of names they gave their babies. Whether inspired by a saint, or the virtues of their religion, you’ll see that underneath the fame and fortune, faith can be a powerful influencer, especially where children are concerned.
