Help[Opinions] Re: Patty
in reply to a message by Caroline
Delaware's most infamous woman, Martha "Patty" Cannon, comes immediately to mind re: Patty as a nn for Martha. She was kind of a bounty hunter, who with her crew kidnapped free black people or escaped slaves and turned them in, or robbed and killed them.
Anyway, Patricia is pretty, but I don't really care for Patty, because it seems even more middle-aged than Patricia does. pat is a bit more brisk and fresh, and Tricia more youthful.
I think, therefore I judge.

Ok, that is probably the worst association I could think of. Yikes. Makes me wary of the name now.

I was going to say ...
That George Washington had a stepdaughter called Patty, short for Martha, but I foudn out she was Patsy, rather than Patty. Patsy is worse.

Really? As evil behavior goes, that's quite run-of-the-mill. May as well let Elizabeth Bathory (much worse) make you wary of Elizabeth, or Kate Bender (about the same) make you wary of Kate.
I admit that the fact that Manson exists gives me the chills when I hear Charles and especially Charlie, but I seem to be alone in that, and I admit it's not logical.

Wow, that's an awful namesake. Wasn't Martha Jefferson known as Patty?

Yes, she was, along with countless other non-famous Marthas nn Pattys. But she wasn't exactly a good namesake either, in that next to nothing is known of her other than that she died young because her body couldn't take the stress of constant child-bearing.

I mainly associate her with being played by a young Gwyneth Paltrow in "Jefferson in Paris"
Not saying she's the greatest namesake ever, but better than the one Starla mentioned.
