Thanks Mazzystartled, nooooo that would not be good.
thanks twolittlemonkeys, Patrick never seems to come up on peoples lists, maybe it needs a comeback Paddy for short would be cute.

Noah.

Patrick. I usually love OT names but Noah is really overdone and boring. Patrick is cute - love Paddy as a nn.

Patrick

Noah

minipie · 14/05/2010 17:17

Patrick - esp Paddy.

Patrick. Fab name. Lots of cool shortening, and only one in Ds's school of 421, cub pack, football club and choir. There are at least two Noahs in each, except football club where there are 3.

Patrick.

alarkaspree · 14/05/2010 17:23

Patrick is one of the best names ever. Noah is okay.

mathanxiety · 14/05/2010 17:23

So did you have the scan, Alfiemama?

oceryo · 14/05/2010 17:28

Noah

GoldenSnitch · 14/05/2010 17:29

Plus, t'is DH's name so I'm biased

Lovely names both.

AndieWalsh · 14/05/2010 17:40

Love Patrick. Paddy is a cool NN.

MunchkinsMumof2 · 14/05/2010 17:46

Patrick nn Paddy

Magaly · 14/05/2010 17:54

Patrick. Excellent name, underused classic.

Noah is a bit too trendy and yet at the same time 'meh' as they say (on mumsnet).

pointydog · 14/05/2010 17:54

patrick, no question

Patrick deffo. Don't like Noah at all

Jamieandhismagictorch · 14/05/2010 18:26

Patrick >

I think MN may be staging a resurrection of Patrick for this generation. Quite right too

Jamieandhismagictorch · 14/05/2010 18:27

Is DH's name too

InmyheadIminParis · 14/05/2010 18:27

Noah, without doubt.

Pat? Paddy? no no no.
