And these children that you spit on,
As they try to change their worlds,
Are immune to your consultations,
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through.

I feel you. I've seen some pretty harsh comments about my own name here. And to tell the truth, I think they are due solely to the fact that my name is dated, as is yours.
I can't really wrap my mind around anyone thinking Patricia is ugly. Dated, of course. Old lady and middle-aged, well, sure, all dated names are. Frumpy, maybe, because it was so popular that some women named Patricia were bound to be frumpy. But ugly? Of course, opinions are opinions and can't always be and don't have to be justified, but Patricia is so soft and melodious I can't help thinking that in the case of this name "ugly" means simply "dated".
FWIW, I think Patricia is pretty.

The main things I don't like about Patricia are how much it sounds like patrician (meaning seems almost transparent) and the NNs Patty / Pat.
I feel like Patty is irredeemably ugly, and Pat has a condescending vibe.
I like Trish / Trisha.
Otherwise, it reminds me of names like Alicia, Leticia, Pamela.
...and maybe names like Lavinia, Jessica, Cressida, Gloria, Melissa, Clarissa, Cassandra.
I think it's nice as a MN.

I do think it's pretty cutesy, and you're right, it doesn't match at all

I’m not really feeling it. Goldie’s a cute nn but it sounds like they’re trying too hard. The story behind the name is sweet though.

I like it. I've always had a soft spot for Goldie/Golda. It's definitely got that retro-chic vibe to it.

Dont like Goldie as a fn

I have no idea who Carson Daly is, bur Goldie as a full given name is... it's not good. Sounds like a dog. Goldie Patricia is very old lady... which is a little hypocritical of me, as my own daughter's name is pretty old lady. But there's old fashioned, and then there's Goldie Patricia. Goldie Patricia leaves long comments on your Facebook status that have nothing to do with it instead of sending you a message. Everything in her house is floral, pastel, and lacy.

Wow, I love it! So retro and jaunty.

Goldie is so ugly. It's what people with no imagination name their goldfishes.
Goldie Daly sounds silly to. As does one of his other daughters, London Daley. I hope she marries somebody with the last name Mail.

Not a fan. I dislike nicknamey first names, and I don't love Patricia either.

I like it a lot. It’s really sweet. :)
