I dislike nicknames like Pat. It sounds so boring and old, and I picture a Pat to be a stern history teacher in his sixties whose students hate him. If said Pat is a man and an old woman who the kids are scared of for a woman or a mean woman with no personality otherwise. Sorry to any Pats out there, surely you are wonderful people.
Patch or Patches or Patty/Paddy or Tricia are much better to me.

I have a cousin named Pat and a bad memory of her, so dislike the name on females. Since I'm Irish by ancestry, though, I think it's cute for a man to be called Pay. However, I now have a slightly negative feeling of that also, since I just read here that the name means tit in Scandinavian!

The word Pat means "boob" or "tit" in Danish, so this is a very funny sounding name in that part of the world. I would not name my child this if I had any Scandinavian family or plans on visiting there with my kid.

Completely non-descript nickname from about 60 years ago. Uni-gender and seems lazy somehow. You might as well say "hey, you" as soon as call someone "Pat".
