[Opinions] Patrick
My husband and I were talking about Saints that we wouldn't mind honoring. Among the normal names that came up my husband brought up Patrick. I like the name and I especially like that it's my husband's confirmation name. The problem is that I'd prefer to not use it as a first name - mostly because I suspect that my sister-in-law will use it. (It's the name of her father-in-law.) The other reason I don't like is that we have an Irish surname and the name would sound very Irish. While both my husband and I have Irish in us it's not much - he considers himself mostly German and I consider myself mostly Swedish. It would be weird to have a child with such an Irish name when it's not a big part of our ancestry. So: Ideas? We thought about Augustus Patrick and I like it. My husband is iffy on it but I think it's neat and just quirky enough. Otherwise we have no ideas.
