Re: Pat and Paddy ...
in reply to a message by Mireio
I live in the US and all the Patricks I've known have gone mainly by Patrick, but called Pat on occasion. This includes guys I went to school with as well as older ones. I don't know any currently kid ones. I've never known one who went by Paddy. I think in the US since Patricia/Patty is so common and Paddy and Patty would sound the same here, males stay away from it.
