Patrick-how many do you know?

I love this name and have never met a little one named it.
But I've also never met a little Henry or Reuben and apparently these names are v popular.

So IRL how many little Patricks do you know?

My partners Irish, let's just say I have no problem remembering the names of any of his male relatives Wink

I know 5 Patricks. They are all children at my daughters school, it's a very popular name at her (catholic) school.

NickySummerbee · 04/06/2015 16:41

I know one who is about 8 and one who is about 17.

CrystalMcPistol · 02/06/2015 21:56

Loads of all ages in Ireland.

In my experience UK Patricks tend to be posh army types.

Felyne · 02/06/2015 21:41

Two. One is five and one is about eight.

Adult Patricks I know are at least 50.

NotTallMyself · 02/06/2015 21:00

I like it. I don't have any in my family. It's not that common

123Jump · 02/06/2015 20:04

Loads! Paddy is very popular in Ireland. I love it.

BathshebaDarkstone · 02/06/2015 19:50

None.

akorda · 02/06/2015 19:50

I know one 4 year old. Surprisingly underused name. I really like it!

LikeABadSethRogenMovie · 26/05/2015 15:37

One. He's in his 20s and is not Irish.

Only my 33-year-old husband

Sorry, that was a bit harsh considering you didn't ask for opinions (I had it in my head you were seeking opinions when replying for some reason). Apologies.

LeoandBoosmum · 25/05/2015 18:20

I don't know any, maybe for a reason. Sorry, I think there are so many nice names out there.

gandering · 25/05/2015 17:55

Loads, I'm Irish though. Met some non-Irish toddler Patrick's here in the UK so it's relatively rare. Haven't heard of an Irish baby Patrick in years, but a fair few Padraig's (Irish version) and Paudie's (Irish nickname). It's a lovely name.

FortyFacedFuckers · 25/05/2015 17:53

Here in Scotland I know 3 that are ds's age (10)
I know 2 adult ones as well

measles64 · 25/05/2015 17:43

My DS aged 13 is one, a 73 year old is another. DS was the only one in primary and is the only one in secondary. Have a GS 15 weeks called Henry.

LouisaB1990 · 25/05/2015 17:39

I know 2 one is 24 other is 31 x

kittylh · 25/05/2015 17:37

I know one and he's just turned 3. Goes by Paddy.

DramaAlpaca · 24/05/2015 21:47

Love it & know loads of all ages - we are in Ireland.

Mrsj70 · 24/05/2015 21:35

I have both a Patrick and a Henry!

DancingDinosaur · 24/05/2015 21:33

Lovely name, I really like it. I know a few old Patricks (my age) but no young ones. Great choice.

YellowPirate · 24/05/2015 21:32

I have a 9 month old Patrick. We know one other, an acquaintance whose son is about 4. We get a lot of compliments!

raffle · 24/05/2015 21:31

I know a gorgeous little Patrick who is 6 Wink

He is the only one in our school, we are in England.

He gets called Paddy.

The only other Patrick we know is little Patrick's Great Grandfather.
