In this country, Presbyterians tended to use geographic or numerical names and avoided saint names. I don't know of any rule other than general rules like avoiding superstition and offense.
I always loved the name of a Baptist church between here and Tyler which had apparently split off another church called Hope Baptist Church. They called their church
Little Hope Baptist Church.

How was your church named?
Is there a Biblical text, historical precedent, or confessional standard that anyone can point to in how churches are named? Has it always simply been chosen by the elders or members pragmatically or by personal preference?  |
