HelpRe: Patty
in reply to a message by Martha
I used to hate Patty, but I'm really warming up to it. I would find it adorable if I found out a Patricia went by Patty and not Trisha.
I wonder if Pat, Patty and Patsy are out of favour because of teasing potential for "fat, fatty, fatso" rhyming taunts? Just-Patty (or maybe Pattie?) would fit in with the Ellie-Sadie-Sophie-Elsie-Lily-Chloe-Zoe fashion....

I think it's like Sadie but not those other names. It's more in the the style of Hattie / Fanny / Peggy than it is Zoe / Lily / Sophie imv. I do like Fanny, but I wouldn't really say it's fashionable...and I'd rather see Peggy or Pansy come back than Patty / Patsy.

Maybe Patty is like....what Sophie/Ellie/Sadie etc *used* to be, right before they got popular. Those names once upon a time were fuddy-duddy old lady names that people couldn't believe parents were using on kids. I wonder if the trend will keep evolving to include things like Peggy, Pansy and Patty as parents look for fresh retro meat? I feel like Patty is in a fashion limbo along with Nancy and Peggy and names like that.
