Noah, but then I'm in Ireland and there is loads of Patricks.

Patrick without a shadow of a doubt - Noah unbelievably popular just now and will sound dated next year. Patrick more classic.

I was on earlier, jamie - you missed me!

Patrick is a great name on it's own. No need for a nickname I reckon.

InmyheadIminParis · 14/05/2010 18:27

Noah, without doubt.

Pat? Paddy? no no no.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 14/05/2010 18:27

Is DH's name too

Jamieandhismagictorch · 14/05/2010 18:26

Patrick >

I think MN may be staging a resurrection of Patrick for this generation. Quite right too

patrick, no question

Magaly · 14/05/2010 17:54

Patrick. Excellent name, underused classic.

Noah is a bit too trendy and yet at the same time 'meh' as they say (on mumsnet).

MunchkinsMumof2 · 14/05/2010 17:46

Patrick nn Paddy

AndieWalsh · 14/05/2010 17:40

Love Patrick. Paddy is a cool NN.

Patrick 'cause then you can nn him Patch

Plus, t'is DH's name so I'm biased

oceryo · 14/05/2010 17:28

Noah

mathanxiety · 14/05/2010 17:23

So did you have the scan, Alfiemama?

alarkaspree · 14/05/2010 17:23

Patrick is one of the best names ever. Noah is okay.

mathanxiety · 14/05/2010 17:22

Patrick.

seeker · 14/05/2010 17:21

Patrick. Fab name. Lots of cool shortening, and only one in Ds's school of 421, cub pack, football club and choir. There are at least two Noahs in each, except football club where there are 3.

minipie · 14/05/2010 17:17

Patrick - esp Paddy.

tootiredtothink · 14/05/2010 17:13
