Opinions on Patrick? Any suggestions of similar names? Thanks

love it! it was on our list along with sebastian, reuben joseph, francis, samuel and jasper.

Love it 😍. Also like Jacob, Peter, Hamish, Frederick, James and Rupert

Love it, massively underused!

I like it, I also really like Gregory.

Love it, I have one!

Love it, agree that it's massively underused in the UK.

Sorry, I don't like it, and I really hate the nn Pat.

Love it. It was on our list along with James, Joseph, Matthew...

Nice, uncommon classic (although I hate the nn Pat, but I think that's rarely used now). A similar feeling name to me would be Michael and perhaps Peter, Phillip, Robert, John, Richard and Stephen.

Horrible - really can't bear it - just fat and squadgy sounding name. Pat is just a terrible short form, it's a middle-aged woman (with huge earrings ) not a little boy.

Love it, but hate Pat or Paddy as a nn

although I hate the nn Pat, but I think that's rarely used now

The one I know is Pat - there's no other option except Paddy really is there? - which is possibly worse!

This is the kind of name that everyone says they like, ooh unusual classic etc, but no-one, when push comes to shove, actually wants to call their child it!

Love it! I know several unshortened Patrick's, a Pat, a Paddy, a Patch and a few Pádraigs. I also know an older man called Patsy but that probably wouldn't do in the UK.

I have a Patrick, he goes by 'Paddy' even though Patrick is his full name.

@YoniAndGuy well I did 😂

Love it- it’s on the list for a potential ds2.

V classic and underused.

Love it. Never understand why it's not more popular

I would assume a few go by Rick - which is a kinda retro cool name? (thinking of Bogie in Casablanca). Although I understand Patrick Swayze was known as Buddy.... Still Patrick is only 2 syllables so maybe it wouldn't get a nn/shortened?

Fantastic name.

nice but reminds me of Patrick from spongebob

Lovely name.

I think it's a really strange name

Very nice.

I like it.

I think it's a very handsome name. I like Patch as a nickname for a little Patrick.
