I came up with the name Patrick for our second little boy when I Was about six months pregnant; after looking though a baby names book. My Granny was called Patricia and I was very close to her & I felt Patrick was the male version of her name. However, I've been worried about the name as I'm now thinking there is a chane it could be shortened to Pat, Paddy or even Patch. All of which I seriously don't like. Even my Granny was called Pat!
We have also considered the name George because; if baby had been a little girl, I'd have call her Georgina & Georgie for short. However, this also concerns me as there is a chance we may have a third baby and if we were to hit the Jack pot and have a little girl - I'd go for Georgina!
Now stressed out with naming our little boy who is now three weeks old & is the un- named soldier!
Hope you might be able to help! Many thanks, Ruth
