DH's wonderful aunt Pat died on the August BH and we both agreed that should this one be a girl (we deliberately haven't found out), she's be named Patricia in her honour. Problem is that yesterday I discovered that he thought we meant as a first name, I thought we meant as a middle name.
Much though I loved Pat and admired her so much, I don't particularly like the name Patricia or Patty, Trisha. I like Pat and Paddy for grown-ups or even teenagers but not for little kids.
So are there any other nn for Patricia that could convince me it is a great name?
