I used to hate
Patricia because I thought of
Tricia Nixon as the epitome of uptight, perfect perfectitude. (I always felt guilty about this because I knew nothing of her other than what her father represented. I did like her wedding dress. But I could never get the "
Tricia = uptight" thing out of my head.)
Fast forward to the present. I now find
Patricia to be fresh and, like you, delightfully restrained, not uptight. My favorite nn for her is
Pax.
It's like walking into a candy store and trying to pick out my favorite kind of chocolate. But my favorites:
Patricia Caroline (Nixon meets
Kennedy?)
Patricia Clare (aw)
Patricia Hazel (
Hazel Patricia was a character on "Upstairs Downstairs")
Patricia IonePatricia Leontine -- heavenly
Patricia Verity
What wuold you say to
Patricia Vivien /
Vivienne?
Can you say
Patricia Cecily or
Patricia Eugenie?
Patricia Iris comes out as
Patricia Irish when I try. Kudos if you can, but mixing "s," "sh" and "zh" defeats me.
