[Opinions] Re: Patrick
I won't gush over Patrick since you don't need me to, so I'll try some combos I hope you'll like. :) Trying to remember names you like, too...Allan Patrick - I like this, it's very straightforward.
Raphael Patrick
Constantine Patrick - this somehow manages to work well, I think
Damian Patrick
Noam Patrick
Walter Patrick
Phineas Patrick
Norman Patrick
Abraham Patrick
I thought to add Ira Patrick, but then wasn't sure if it was kind of funny with Patrick feeling Irish and then Ira is spelled IRA. Ha.)I really like Augustus Patrick, though. That is one awesome name. I don't think you should use Patrick with your last name not because it sounds more Irish than you consider yourself, but because it's the name of a pretty well-known person.Oh I love Patrick so much and saying it my head so many times reminded me.

I didn't think of the namesake!It's actually the reason I decided to not use Joseph. Ira Patrick has an odd flow to me, we actually thought of it and dismissed it. I laughed when I saw Damian, btw - it's the name of one of my brothers-in-law. :-DI really, really like Allan Patrick - a LOT. I'm going to suggest that to X. The rest aren't my style, save for Raphael Patrick. However I still prefer Raphael Christian - I think Raphael & Allan would be neat as brothers.

Oh yeah, I think I knew you had a brother in law named Damian. Forgot. I'm glad you like Allan Patrick so much! I think it was my favorite, too.But yeah, as you might recall me having said before, I wanted Ben to be Patrick for the longest time, and even finally talked Nick into using it. Then about a week after it was confirmed he was a boy, I realized that he didn't feel like a Patrick. Alas, but I still would like it to be on the table if we ever were to have another boy.

I really do like Patrick.It's odd, it's not a name I ever thought I'd like. It seems the older I get the more I turn to what I call 'comfortable, rocking chair' names. I also think it would be cool to use our confirmation names as middle names - Patrick for husband, Juliana for me.
