I used to hate Patricia because I thought of Tricia Nixon as the epitome of uptight, perfect perfectitude. (I always felt guilty about this because I knew nothing of her other than what her father represented. I did like her wedding dress. But I could never get the "Tricia = uptight" thing out of my head.)
Fast forward to the present. I now find Patricia to be fresh and, like you, delightfully restrained, not uptight. My favorite nn for her is Pax.
It's like walking into a candy store and trying to pick out my favorite kind of chocolate. But my favorites:
Patricia Caroline (Nixon meets Kennedy?)
Patricia Clare (aw)
Patricia Hazel (Hazel Patricia was a character on "Upstairs Downstairs")
Patricia Ione
Patricia Leontine -- heavenly
Patricia Verity
What wuold you say to Patricia Vivien / Vivienne?
Can you say Patricia Cecily or Patricia Eugenie? Patricia Iris comes out as Patricia Irish when I try. Kudos if you can, but mixing "s," "sh" and "zh" defeats me.

I do like Patricia but I think it's not ready for a comeback -- it's quite dated and the nns Pat, Patty and Patsy should never be revived, imo. I do like Tricia and Trish, though. I've seen Patia before which I think is interesting and quirky although I'm not sure how to pronounce it (PAH-sha, pah-TEE-a).
Of your combos, I like:
Patricia Caroline
Patricia Clare
Patricia Corisande -- WDYT of Patricia Corinne?
Patricia Delphine -- Do you like Patricia Daphne?
Patricia Eve -- Ooh, I love this!
Patricia Genevieve
Patricia Gwendolen -- And this!
Patricia Hazel
Patricia Helene
Patricia Juliet -- Yes!
Patricia Leonie
Patricia Liliane
Patricia Madeline
Patricia Marguerite
Patricia Marigold -- Marigold brings whimsy to the prim and proper Patricia.
Patricia Rosalind
Patricia Rosemary

One of my sisters is named Patricia. I like the full form very much, it's so soft and pretty. Of course, it is dated, and I'm sure you're aware of that, and when it was popular, it was very very popular. I think it's the second or third most common name in the US for women of all ages. My sister is always called Patty, but I don't like that nickname. Tricia is a nicer nickname, in my opinion, and perhaps you could get away with the full form---but I've never known a Patricia who goes by the full form. It would be---dare I say it---refreshing to see a newborn or a child Patricia these days. But I think it has to wait longer for a comeback.
My sister is Patricia Jeanne--what, you say? You don't go for filler middle names? Well, I like Patricia Caroline, Patricia Juliet, and Patricia Verity. Also, Patricia Hazel, since Hazel was my grandmother's name.

Slightly resenting Jean (spelled like that) being called a filler name, as it's my name and I think it stands alone quite well.
Possibly because I come from an area (ethnically about 80% Scottish)where Jean was quite common as a first name.

It's filler only when it's a middle name. Like Rose, Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Anne, Lynne, Marie, and Lee\Leigh.
