Help[Opinions] Re: UK/Spanish pronunciation problems
in reply to a message by Mig
Patrick is a timeless classic. It can never go out of fashion. It is a perfect compliment to equally tasteful Gabriel. You did a wonderful job.
Bottom line: I would keep calling him Gabriel and use the Spanish pronunciation. If you live in Spain then using anything but the Spanish pronunciation is swimming against the stream. The British, on your trips/vacations, will understand.
I think it's adorable that your grandfather calls him Patrick. Let that be his special name for your son; a private understanding that only "the Patricks" are in on.
