Sisters' names?

Hello,
I could use some help on religious sisters’ names for a story I’m working on.
Many sisters and nuns have the name [name_f]Mary[/name_f] in front of another name ([name_f]Sister[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Angelica[/name_f], [name_f]Sister[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]),
but I’m also looking for other names, like those of saints, esp. martyrs and beatified/canonized members of religious
orders. Please, nothing “creative”–the names should be timeless and classic. Any ideas?
Oh, and the religious order is the Dominicans (Order of Preachers); the community is fictional.

I went to a Catholic convent school and we had some nuns who took male saint names.[name_f]Sister[/name_f] [name_m]Bonaventure[/name_m] was our principal. There are more common saints names like [name_f]Theresa[/name_f]/[name_f]Teresa[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] but here are other female saint names.
