Patricia

Christine Lampard (and Frank) have just named their new baby Patricia Charlotte. Thoughts on the name? I thought it was refreshingly untrendy. His daughters with his first wife were Luna and Isla- obviously a Spanish connection to reflect their mum, but very typical of this decade, whereas Patricia really does seem a big change away from that. I had him down as a Peter Andre type (wife names the kids...I mean how else do you have Junior and Princess with wife 1, and Amelia and Theo with wife 2??!!) but googled it and apparently the baby is named after his late mum. Very sweet.

My Mum is called Patricia. So therefore am naturally biased!

I love it.

So much better than the attention seeking made up names you hear so often now.

It was Frank Lampards late Mother’s name and it’s a lovely tribute.

Good luck and congratulations them both .

It's awful! So so awful. What will they call her for short? Pat? Patty? Trish?!!!

Patricia is a refreshing name and more interesting than Charlotte.

Charlotte is nice but it's only one place outside the top 10...maybe they preferred a more unusual name?

It was his late mother's name

I understand and respect their wishes and reasoning, but can't help thinking Charlotte Patricia looks, sounds, feels better.

It's very much an old fashioned name to me and not one that I think is cute like some other old names .

At least it's a normal name and not made up like some celebs too lol

Sorry...didn't mean to add Frank as an afterthought....I was just thinking about how it was her first child....
