The Catholic Church has officially recognized the sainthood of over 10,000 holy men and women. Unfortunately, many of their records have been lost. Name the ones that are still known and recognized.
Does not include those who are Servants of God/Venerable/Blessed.
The multiples of the same name are confusing because some of them appear and others don't. Like all the Johns. Some of them appear when you type John. Others don't and you have to try all of them individually but they're not all there.
Dominic is the same.
Make it consistent. Either all of the same name appear at once or you have to be specific - not both at random.
You're missing several of the newer saints. Marie-Rose Durocher. Oscar Romero. Dulce.
Also, I tried Paul Miki, but it was not accepted. I see you have Paulo Miki there. Please accept Paul?
As you accept first name for many "__ of __" answers, I was expecting Joan to work for Joan of Arc, so to echo the previous comment, please increase the consistency. You may want to make rules and put them under the title as a caveat. I understand you may intend specificity (like John shouldnt work for John Paul)
I would also recommend more spelling leniency, such as Francis also counting for the answer Frances, as is common on the site.
I tried Maximillian, but did not get Maximilian Kolbe, not sure if I used two many Ls or if you wanted last name, but more leniency here to be more consistent with how most quizes work on here.
Virginia also did not work for Virginia Centurione Bracelli, but I admit this may have been your intent, as may be true for many of the following:
Lawrence for Laurence O'Toole or Brindisi
John for John Bosco, Vianney, Neumann, or Henry Newman
Since I used holy men and women that the Church has recognized in the description, I thought it would be best to not include the archangels as they aren’t men/women. The church has revered them for most of its history but in the sense of how I “defined” saints, they don’t quite apply. But Jesus is fully man, and I’ve heard him referred to as the Highest Saint or First Saint, so I decided to include him.
I don’t think the Catholic Church officially recognizes Adam and Eve as “saints” (their veneration was mostly a Middle Ages thing I think) and if I included them I would have to include all of the jewish patriarchs who the church believes entered heaven in the beatific vision.
It's looking good so far and I know it is impossible to get a list of all the saints, but you could expand the quiz by adding the rest of canonized popes.

And please let me know of any other saints whose absence you noticed!:)

Mary for Mary of the Cross
Bernard for Bernard Van Vo
Neither Jane nor Francis work for Jane Frances
Olga
Lazarus
Josaphat
Louis and Zelie Martin
Émilie Gamelin
Adam and Eve (yes! Feast day is Christmas Eve)
Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael
(I would also add that Jesus isn't a saint.)

I don’t think Émilie has been canonized.
Thank you so much!!
