Patrick just sounds nice to me. Like you're never going to meet a mean or disagreeable Patrick. So friendly and dependable.

---

The only downside to me is the possibility of Pat--I'm not a fan of Pat in any scenario--but nicknames are easy enough to avoid if you are persistent. I've heard far longer and more complicated names get by without being shortened, so I would consider Patrick's chances to be excellent.

---

Odd thing, but I tend to like male P names together as sibsets. I'm not normally a matchy person but the idea of brothers Patrick, Peter, Paul, or Philip just sounds pleasant to me. Not sure why.

Patrick could go with anything, couldn't it? A more classic take:

---

Patrick William
Patrick Stephen
Patrick Anthony
Patrick Francis
Patrick Jeremiah
Patrick Robert
Patrick Joseph
Patrick Emmanuel
Patrick Lawrence

---

Or maybe be a little less predictable with:

---

Patrick Cassian
Patrick Terence
Patrick Niles (Miles? Giles?)
Patrick Leo (Leo certainly on the up and up, but I still think it gives a little interesting punch; or if not maybe Leon)
Patrick Kenelm
Patrick Douglas
Patrick Reid / Reed / Read
Patrick Rhett
Patrick Fabian
Patrick Damian
