You know what, especially having seen a couple of younger bearers of what might be considered an “old fashioned” name, I like it enough to picture having a daughter with it. It definitely has that likability factor for me.
I wish I hadn’t seen the comment from 2005 about the name also being a word for a weak person, but I think I could get past that. Sometimes, you just have to (for example, one of my favourites is Charlotte despite knowing it has the word “harlot” in it, Lana is anal backwards but people still use it, etc). It’s probably also one of those things where most people either don’t know or don’t care.

I’m neutral about the name Patsy, but I prefer Patty. It sounds weird as a boy’s name, but fine as a girl’s name, my opinion.

This is my grandma's name. She always disliked it and goes by just Pat. I think it's the meaning that bothered her and the sound is a bit childish. She wishes Pat was short for Petunia haha :)

This was a short-lived nickname my sister was calling me. There was a character from Sailor Moon named this. And yes, it does or would sound hilarious on a guy! But if he were a boyfriend it would be kind of a cute petname if he doesn't mind - most likely he will!

I personally like this name. The name makes people think of that person as a gullible scapegoat. But, there's a good side about this as well. The name suggests that Patsy isn't selfish. Also, this person believes totally in people (to the point of being easily used by them). It's kinda tragic too I guess, but I still like being called this.

It has little effect on me if used for a female, but this name is absolutely hilarious to me when used on a male! I didn't originally know there even were guys called Patsy. I was introduced to this usage of it through one of my friends, who wrote a story where a male character is named Patsy. The character in her story was funny, and since I also think of Patsy from Monty Python and the Holy Grail when I think of guys named Patsy, I think this is very funny as a boy's name.
