Patricia

[resm]

Not expecting atm, but always have a wee notion of another down the line.

We have all boys and have a bit of a pang that we didn’t get to use our girls names - my favourite was Anna & husband’s was Kate.

If we ever had a fourth child, I don’t think we could choose between them. So I was thinking, maybe mother’s name?

Is Patricia too dated? I don’t like Pat/Patty/Patsy or anything like that.

It's Patti Smith. American singer-songwriter and poet who's ploughed her own furrow since her early days in the NY punk scene.

She is pretty cool to be fair.

Thank you RitzyMcFitzy.
Yes I agree, she looks pretty cool which is why I had to ask.

Awful. I like plenty of dated names from this genre or era but not Patricia.

@Frances0911 Yep Patti Smith, please give her music a listen and you can thank me and @RitzyMcFitzy later, she is amazing!

Yep agree that she will have the piss taken out of her with cow pat, she might escape Pat Butcher as won't be their generation.

All in all not a good choice.

Patty/Patsy equally bad.

I know double names are not popular with mnetters but what about Anna Kate? I wouldn’t hyphen it but use both names together. Sounds good and not too long.
Julie Andrews has a daughter called Emma Kate which has the same vibe.

Haha a lot of hate for the name Patricia! I actually really love Anna Kate (which is odd as I hate double barrelled names), but my husband has a thing about not having a diminutive on the BC so it would be Anna Kathleen or a Kathleen Anna which doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I’m sure Kathleen will be as unpopular as Patricia now lol, but I’m not a fan of Catherine. It’s perfectly okay, but for someone else.
