HelpRe: Carson Daly's Daughter
in reply to a message by dorothy
I don't care for Goldie. I think Marigold would have been lovely.
Man does it suck to see everyone dislikes your name. Patricia really isn't that bad... lol And it was used here to honor Daly's mother who died in 2017.

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.
