Re: Patrick
Aw, I like Patrick. It's a sweet name, and it is an old Catholic standby. But I agree, it would not work at all with your surname. Augustus Patrick is not my style, but it flows well and I would think that it's really neat. I'm not sure if you wanted saint's name + Patrick, or name + Patrick. If you are looking for the former, the BtN list is pretty comprehensive.

We're good on Saint's nameWe chose saints that did something - wrote, helped reform the church, etc. The idea of someone living in abject misery and then dying and becoming a Saint isn't that great to me. Give me Thomas of Aquinas, Julian of Norwich, Hildegarde of Bengin, Thomas Merton, Theresa of Avila, St. Francis & Clare of Assisi before Perpetua & St. Rose of Lima.
