I love
Patrick, but I could never use it because it's so common where I live (in
Ireland). You can't go anywhere without meeting at least one
Patrick, Pádraig, Pádraic,
Paddy or Packey, named in honour of Saint
Patrick (or in Pádraig's case, maybe Pádraig Pearse). Its popularity in
Ireland probably wouldn't be an issue where you live, so anyway,
Patrick's a brilliant name. It sounds so classic, strong and masculine, and would work on guys of any age.
