My little darling (1yr - today!) is called Patricia - granny has the same name. Anybody have an idea for a nice short name that isn´t Pat(can´t stand it, reminds me of postman)? I would like it to work in spanish and enlgish. :-)

Trish, Tricia, Tix, Tixy, Trixy, Patty, Paddy?

Lizzylou · 18/11/2008 11:52

My Mom is called Patricia, was always known as Pat (and hated it), she is now always "Patricia" or "Patsy", she thinks that she is Joanna Lumley

It is a lovely name!

Happy Birthday to Patricia btw

JohannaF · 18/11/2008 12:02

Patsy is nice! And she is a great character! my favourite dahling I think Patty is the best as it works in spanish and english.

Patty or Pattie

I love that, I REALLY wanted DD2 to be Pattie but DH wouldn't let me so it is her middle name instead

Miyazaki · 18/11/2008 12:07

Patti

after Patti Smith. dd2 very nearly this.

tiredemma · 18/11/2008 12:09

Wouldnt Trixie work well in both spanish and english?

bikerunski · 18/11/2008 12:10

Trixie

Botbot · 18/11/2008 12:18

Patty deffo. Am thinking of Patience shortened to Patty if I ever have a dd2.

JohannaF · 18/11/2008 12:18

Trixie is really cute but I think it is a bit much for the spanish

Patsy really sweet or a friend with son called Patrick calls him Patch which I love.

jkklpu · 18/11/2008 16:15

had a friend who was part Italian: although she was Patricia, we called her Triz, pronounced "Treats" short for Patrizia
