Patrick (Paddy) beautiful name.
Don't know what names worse. Henry or Angus, sorry but both horrible i.m.o

LauraChant · 12/07/2014 00:35

Love Patrick. Would have used it but kind of rhymes with surname

MrTumblesBavarianFanbase · 12/07/2014 00:39

Now don't you have to be Scottish for Angus and Irish for Patrick, esp Paddy... otherwise you sound an idiot, nice as the names are in themselves?

Who can hate the name Henry? [glares]

I'm suddenly reminded of a Paddy English man, Paddy Irish Man, Paddy Scots man joke.........

My vote goes to Paddy.

I like Angus the most, then Patrick. I know a 10yo Paddy who is Patrick.

Henry is ubiquitous and boring (IMO).

Thanks all. I'm from an Irish family, born and spent my childhood in Scotland, now living in England - hence the names.

all fabulous - sorry can't put them in order!

cloggal · 12/07/2014 20:18

I agree with Sanity. Angus, Patrick ---->>>>>> Henry.

Michonne · 12/07/2014 20:24

Henry is by far the nicest.

MyNameIsSuz · 12/07/2014 20:32

Henry then Angus, definitely - Patrick right to the bottom of the pile.

Buggermeovaries · 12/07/2014 20:35

None of 'em ... Sorry.

Angus is a great name!

Patrick is nice but Paddy reminds me of a Pad. I wouldn't shorten Patrick.

Henry is boring and I think of Hooray Henry.
