Here are some details about the choice of a name for Confirmation.
My name is Kaitlyn Christine. When I was confirmed, I took the name Rose. I was confirmed as "Rose" (not "Kaitlyn Rose").

When candidates receive their confirmation certificate, it will have their first name, confirmation name (if different than their first name), and last name.
