some ideas
Sean - without thinking of all the Seans/Shawns/Shauns that I know, I like this name well enough. It's a pleasant sound and I like it better than plain old John. I prefer the Irish spelling btw - Sean. It's more attractive than Shawn or Shaun and it's become such a common spelling that hardly anybody will ever mis-pronounce it, ever.
Sean Patrick? That's so stereotypically Irish I actually cringed, no offense. Both are great names but together, it's overdone. I know soooo many Sean Patricks (all with Irish surnames that start with O', ironically, giving them all the same initials lol always found that funny).
Some ideas (sticking with the Irish theme, as it seems you like that):
Sean Angus (I actually like this one quite a lot, personally)
Sean Ardal
Sean Brennan
Sean Cahal
Sean Calhoun (like this a lot too - Calhoun Sean is even better!)
.... etc

I have always liked Sean, but don't care for Shaun, and especially not Shawn, it looks...low-rent to me, I don't know how to explain it. I have a very good friend named Sean Anthony. And I lust for Sean Bean! I *used* to lust for Sean Connery, especially in Bond movies, but he's, what, like 112 now? *LOL* Still handsome, but beyond my acceptable "lust" target age range, KWIM? My DH is older than me, but not by *that* much!
Sad, I really like Connor, despite its popularity, and think Sean Connor sounds very nice, but of course there would forever be the Sean Connery association.
Perhaps a mn that is *not* so classically Gaelic or stereotypically Scotch/Irish?
Sean Abraham
Sean Beauregard
Sean Benedict
Sean Claude
Sean Ezra
Sean Francis
Sean Gabriel
Sean Jared
Sean Leonard
Sean Milo
Sean Samuel
Sean Phineas
Sean Quincy
Sean Tobias
Sean Vincent
Sean Yves

Sean imo is so boring and plain! Sean Patrick is so faux irish its awful. No offense but the combo Sean Patrick just screams to me 'oh we are irish and we are going to name our son something really irish, lets use Sean Patrick'
Its just really popular etc..
Other names that would be more unusual
Seanan
Seamus (my fave)
Other irish/scottish names:
Angus
Hamish
Declan
Tavish
Ciarnan
Rory
Ewan
Owen
Tynan
Niall
Nolan
Peadar
Reagan
Seoirse
Sorley
Tiernan

Sean Declan
Sean Dominic
Sean Nicholas
Sean William
Sean Desmond
Sean Diarmuid

I like the name alright, but I hear it a whole lot, so it seems pretty unremarkable to me. The John of the late 20th c.
I prefer it spelled Shawn, but that's probably because whenever I run into a Sean/Shawn/Shaun I think of the three guys named those spellings who were *all* in my sixth grade class... and Shawn was the cute, cool one. Sean is ultra preppy.
Sean Patrick is a great combo for that spelling.

Thanks for the feedback =). Do you think Sean Patrick is a bit too common?

Depends what you mean by "common."
It doesn't sound mediocre, if that's what you mean. My image of Sean is that it's very sharp, suave, & preppy, but modest - doesn't "try too hard." Patrick fits with it as a middle name just right - by that I mean, it's not striking. It's predictable because it sounds good.
It does seem sort of generically Irish-English-popular-namey. I'm not sure that's any drawback, though - that's just a matter of preference. Of the names I think of as popular, I suppose Sean is one of the cooler-seeming ones. Not Hollywoody, but leaning slightly that direction. Much cooler, and less mediocre, than, say, Tyler or Joshua.
My impressions of it might not apply so much in New Zealand, I have no idea! Maybe the name Sean is not popular there, or has some totally different image for NZ'ers. But, for whatever it's worth, that's my view from here.

Sean is a nice name. Sean is the original and most tasteful spelling.
Shaun is an acceptable spelling but Shawn is plain nasty.
Sean Declan
Sean Gregor
?

I don't mind Sean - I wouldn't use it myself but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Sean Patrick is a *very* common combo - so much that I'd say it's overdone. I prefer something more unusual, or less Irish, with Sean:
Sean Theodore
Sean Laurence
Sean Conrad
Sean Christopher
Sean Matthew
Sean Luke
Sean Timothy
Sean Daniel
Sean William
Sean Felix
Sean Ashley
Sean Dominic
Sean Gerald
Sean Kenneth
Sean Morris
Sean Oliver
