Padraic has a lovely soft sound that I think is much more attractive than Patrick. I pronounce it pad (not paw) too but I don't know if that's the correct pronunciation. I also imagine that the -raic part is pronounced more softly than -rik in Patrik but again I don't know if that's correct.
I can't stand Paddy though. I think it's a terrible nickname that ruins Padraic completely.
