NN for Patricia?

[IssyStark]

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?

My aunty Pat as a child pronounced her name Pat-rissy-ah because she thought it sounded posh she was known as Trissy or Rissa[think Monica Edwards lovely books]

My Uncle calls my Aunty Pat (his wife) Patrice (as in like the footballer Evra), he has a very strong Scots accent though maybe he is saying something else. Oh and his name is Alexander!!

He also pronounces Patrica - Pa-treesha which sounds nicer than Pa -trisha imo x

Pixie is so cute, lovely nn for Patricia.

Trisha.

Sorry didn't read post properly...

I love Pixie.
