Sounds playful and soft, but never liked this name much. Had a really cool aunt who was super mellow and creative with this name. Beautiful and sunny in a modest way she was. However, the name just doesn’t hold a ton of beauty to me. Sounds very meek. Or like a burger Patty.

Patty is also used as a masculine name in English, as a diminutive of Patrick. However, it's more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine".Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patty_(given_name)
Patty Brard (born Petula Brard) is a Dutch entertainer and entrepreneur of Indo (Dutch-Indonesian) descent. She is a TV personality and a singer notable as a former member of the girl group Luv'. For four decades, she has often hit the headlines of the tabloid press.
The rant below, thank you for proving a point! This name isn't ugly or infantile or whatever ya'll are saying. I think it's cute, and it reminds me of Peppermint Patty from Peanuts.
I’m sorry I’m really trying to give the name a chance but it’s just not the best. Maybe try to find a cuter name and have Patty be the nickname. But the only one I could think of was Patricia.
I've only met one Patty in my life and she was very nice but I'm not gonna lie I don't like it it's ugly, tacky and unattractive. I agree with everyone else I'm NOT trying to offend anyone named Patty I'm just saying my opinion!
OK, first of all. My name is Patty and this comment section is ridiculous. I was named after my deceased grandmother and this comment section is so toxic and bringing so much insecurity to me, and maybe other Patty's. To all the other Patty's YOUR NAME IS BEAUTIFUL DO NOT LET THESE MORONS TELL YOU ANY DIFFERENT! YOU ARE AMAZING! AND THE FACT THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING ANONYMOUS AND TYPING SUCH HEARTBREAKING TOXIC THINGS IS SO DISGUSTING! It hurts that an actual wholesome comment I saw had -3 likes just shows how much people really don't care about anything but themselves. Think before you type, especially about other's opinions on the names OF THEIR BABY, THEIRS NOT YOURS, THEIRS! THEY DECIDE AND YOU SHUT UP ABOUT WHAT THEY CHOOSE IT'S SO OFFENSIVE AND SELFISH! IT'S AS IF SOMEBODY CALLED YOUR BABY UGLY JUST CAUSE THEY HAVE AN ANONYMOUS THING COVERING WHO THEY REALLY ARE SO THEY CAN NEVER SEE THE CONSEQUENCES! And Trish? Tricia? That sounds like a soccer mom, or a person who would call a manager whenever their expired coupons don't work. (Trishes or Tricias out in the world your name is beautiful I'm just tryna prove my point on how calling and assuming on a name before you even meet the person is extremely offensive!) This name is also common where I am from (Mexico) because it is our CULTURE so technically if you insult ANYBODY'S NAME in Mexico, YOU ARE INSULTING OUR BELIEFS, CULTURE, FREEDOM, AND ARE BEING AN UNMANNERED SWINE!
Patty is a thief originating in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (and one of my favourite characters). Usually cheerful and independant, she is the daughter of Brigit, a pirate, and has a brother named Febail/Faval (he hasn't recieved a proper translated name yet in Heroes nor has the game itself been translated or remade). She is also a good cook and idolises the prince of Isaach, Shannan. Her backstory was detailed in the 25th Anniversary Staff Book, which has never been translated officially.
There are two Peanuts characters named Patty: Patty, who debuted in the very first Peanuts strip on October 2, 1950 (I like to call her "Bow Patty" because of the bow in her hair), and Peppermint Patty, who debuted in the strip on August 22, 1966.
Patty Mullen is an American actress and model born on Staten Island, New York. She starred in the 1990 cult film Frankenhooker and the 1987 film Doom Asylum. Mullen's modeling career began with her first appearance in Penthouse. She was Penthouse Pet of the Month August 1986 and Pet of the Year 1988.
Patty is such an unpleasant name. It conjures up images of an overweight, unattractive older woman who is either sinister or is overly sweet and easily becomes oblivious to everything around her. The name itself, Patty, is hideous as well.

Also a nickname for "Patience" one of the Puritan "virtue" names.
My dog is called Patti (not Patty) and I think it is really cute on her! It's really hard to imagine this name on girl! Patti is great for pets though!
Patty Boyd, wife of both George Harrison and then Eric Clapton. Inspiration for the songs "something" and "Layla". Not wife to both at the same time, obviously.

I hate this name. I really do. Why be Patty when you can be Trish or Tricia? It makes no sense to me personally.
Actually both Patty and Patsy were in frequent use as female names in the USA centuries before Patricia was in use. In the 1600s and 1700s these were pet forms of Martha, just as Peggy was a pet form of Margaret and Polly was a pet form of Mary. [noted -ed]
A famous bearer is Patty Duke, Academy Award winning actress. Patty got really famous with "The Patty Duke Show" (1963-1966) and with the role of Neely O'Hara in "Valley of the Dolls" (1967).
