Patience...

What could you shorten the name Patience to? I'm not keen on Patty.

Is it not a bit of an oxymoron to name your child Patience but not have enough patience to use the full version?

Was bit cheeky there. What about Patsy or umm, Payton?

There aren't that many obvious ones.

Hahaha, I hadn't thought of that!

Hmm, not sure about Patsy - just makes me think of AbFab!!!

We had a Constance which we shortened to Nancy, which was quite common 'back in the day'! so I was hoping for a similar sort of derivative that perhaps isn't so obvious

Apparently Patia is the Latin diminutive for Patience.

Pae? Love the name Patience btw

Pae? Love the name Patience btw

Dunno. Pash? Not keen tbh.

Pasha? I like it.

Shanna? Paish?

FWIW I work with a Trinidadian lady named Patience. She's ace! We call her Paish (pay-shh)

I do like Pasha, though :)

Pence, Paysh, Pace

Penny?
