Patricia

[PetraRabbit]

Christine Lampard (and Frank) have just named their new baby Patricia Charlotte. Thoughts on the name? I thought it was refreshingly untrendy. His daughters with his first wife were Luna and Isla- obviously a Spanish connection to reflect their mum, but very typical of this decade, whereas Patricia really does seem a big change away from that. I had him down as a Peter Andre type (wife names the kids...I mean how else do you have Junior and Princess with wife 1, and Amelia and Theo with wife 2??!!) but googled it and apparently the baby is named after his late mum. Very sweet.

Sorry...didn't mean to add Frank as an afterthought....I was just thinking about how it was her first child....

It's very much an old fashioned name to me and not one that I think is cute like some other old names .

At least it's a normal name and not made up like some celebs too lol

I understand and respect their wishes and reasoning, but can't help thinking Charlotte Patricia looks, sounds, feels better.

It was his late mother's name

Charlotte is nice but it's only one place outside the top 10...maybe they preferred a more unusual name?

Patricia is a refreshing name and more interesting than Charlotte.

It's awful! So so awful. What will they call her for short? Pat? Patty? Trish?!!!

My Mum is called Patricia. So therefore am naturally biased!

I love it.

So much better than the attention seeking made up names you hear so often now.

It was Frank Lampards late Mother’s name and it’s a lovely tribute.

Good luck and congratulations them both .

I think Patricia is a lovely 'normal' name... we need to bring them back!

oh god, it reminds me of mums in the 90s. Chenille sweaters and pearlescent nail varnish. I'm definitely not ready for Patricia to make a comeback.

Hate the name. Shortened to Pat-urgh no thanks.

I love it! Charlotte is a fine name, but so common now that it will become the Emma/Rachel of my generation. Patricia is also a fine name, is used (but not overused) in other countries, and allows you to call your baby Patsy, which is adorable!

I can see why they chose it - his late DM and it’s also a very common Irish name, albeit for people 40+. I don’t mind Trish(a) as a nickname.

My friend has a Patricia, aged 8, also named after her mum. It really suits her, I love it. She also gets Patti and Patsy for short.

I love it as Patricia - not wild about Pat or Trish.

DD knows a teenage Patricia pronounced PaTREESSia.

Patricia the Stripper

Patricia. It's nice, I like it.

It's an awful name, nice sentiment, but still, no.

I quite like Pattie and Patsy for shortened versions. Noyt a name I like. the PTRSH sounds so close to each other always sound quite harsh and ugly. Also the Patricias I know are all very quaint souls.

❤️ Patricia Charlotte.
Many congratulations Christine and Frank. 🍾💐

I love it.
It's such a change and unexpected with a lovely sentiment.
Good on them.

Patsy or Ricki for nicknames is nice.

It's so awful. I was really surprised at their choice. Stick it in as a middle name if you must.

What on earth will it be (inevitably) shortened to - Pat, Patsy, Trish, Trisha?

Just gruesome.

(But not as awful as Boo - which is what Chris Evans' poor daughter has been named)
