[Opinions] Re: Katherine and Patrick
My preferred Cath- or Cait- name is Katharine, but it and all its variants have been so popular for so long that I'd only use it as a mn. That would also reduce the number of spelling errors ... very tedious to spell your name eleven times a day. Patrick is a name I've always been fond of, and I'd happily use it as the fn of a son. All the Patrick people I've known have been excellent. I'd avoid Patrick and Kathleen in a sibset, unless the family actually are Irish.

To be fair, I don’t think most people would immediately jump to that family being Irish. They’d be probably just think those parents like older/classic names.
Thank you.
