Patrick, Christopher or Marcus?

Hi!

Looking for a little help and opinions - we are having a surprise and we have decided definitely on our girl name and completely agree.

Now for the boys! I really love Patrick but DH says he doesn’t mind it (is less keen) and we both don’t like the Pat/Paddy nicknames. We both have Irish ancestry and it was my late grandad’s middle name which I think is lovely.
Christopher and Marcus I like a lot, DH really likes Marcus - he slightly prefers Marc but it’s too short with our surname.
But I can’t get over my love of the name Patrick!

His middle name would be David.

Any help? 😊 TIA!

Marcus Patrick Surname.

I have a Patrick who is never anything but Patrick except on the football field. It's a lovely name, he likes it and he's 20 and has only ever met one other one. I tried to introduce a couple of what I thought were super cute shortenings when he was little-but he utterly refused to respond to them. So Patrick he is! Go for it.
