Joan is Jimmy's mother's name / Katie's grandma so I'm guessing Patti is one of the other grandmothers as well. Patti Joan is very very retro indeed. My Nana was a Patricia that despised being called Patty or Patsy. It was Pat or Patricia or nothing at all. I'm not a huge fan of it either out of respect for Nana's preferences. Patti looks kind of odd not as a nickname, but I could theoretically like it if I sat with it a bit. I bet if I knew a little girl named Patti Joan it would grow on me. Same way Ruthie grew on me after knowing one. Not my style.. but wearable I think, yes.
