Re: I didn't think of the namesake!
Oh yeah, I think I knew you had a brother in law named Damian. Forgot. I'm glad you like Allan Patrick so much! I think it was my favorite, too.
But yeah, as you might recall me having said before, I wanted Ben to be Patrick for the longest time, and even finally talked Nick into using it. Then about a week after it was confirmed he was a boy, I realized that he didn't feel like a Patrick. Alas, but I still would like it to be on the table if we ever were to have another boy.
