I think Patrick and Mary both have nicknames. Patrick: Paddy, Pat. Mary: Molly, Polly.
I love Claire & Fiona!

I know, but I wouldn't use them

I understood it to mean names that you wouldn't use nicknames for, not names that there aren't nicknames for.

But if I misinterpretted, then I would swap Patrick for Ciaran and Mary for Effie. It was close between those two anyway.

I meant names that others couldn't use for your kids (or your kids change them later on and then you have to call your child by a name you hate -like Sam for Samuel in my case).

So, Patrick is definitely out, but Ciaran is great:-)
