I’m biased because I have a Patrick, but I do love it and think it’s a great choice. It’s been used as a middle name frequently in my family (it’s my Dad’s middle name) but rarely as a first name, so I chose it also to honor him.

My kid's middle name, so I'm obviously a fan.

I also love it! Classic, but I rarely hear it where I live.

My Patrick is 20! He’s sometimes Pat around his friends but always Patrick to everyone else.

I have a Patrick so it’s a favorite of mine.

I love it but there will be a constant battle if you try to avoid Pat.

I like it a lot and would have shortlisted it if there wasn't a Patrick in my family I didn't want to honor.

common and not worth discussing.

I love the name Patrick. DH vetoed because we have multiple family members who share the name and he wanted to be more original, haha. But I would gladly use it!

It's a great name!

Anecdotally, most little Patricks are called Patrick until they're about 15. Then they're all Pat.

Like it but not the nickname Pat. My nephew is Patrick and I think it’s a strong name.

Also love it

Love it.

It’s one of my favorite names. I wish I had used it.

Impressions and thoughts? Good choice?
