HelpRe: Patricia
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
I quite like Patricia too. It's soft, yet polished. I'm growing fond of the classier midcentury names like Patricia, Deborah, Jacqueline, Angela, Marguerite, Virginia and the like. They all have that familiar-yet-posh feeling.
I'm fond of these creations of yours:
Patricia Chloe
Patricia Clio - also Patricia Cleo
Patricia Eloise
Patricia Eulalie
Patricia Eveline
Patricia Odette
Patricia Opal
Patricia Ottoline
Patricia Phoebe
Patricia Rosamond / Rosamund / Rosemonde

I can't help liking Deborah, in spite of the profusion of Debbies with whom I grew up. Unfortunately, though, quite a few of the Debbies were actually named Debra, an abomination. I could go for Deborah if she were never called Debbie, but I never knew a Deborah or a Debra who wasn't called Debbie.

I just looked at both Debra and Deborah's popularity and I cannot believe how popular they were in the 50s! Both spellings were in the top 10! I imagine this means that Deb names were more common than Mary.
Debbie is awful to my ears, but I guess it's just because I have bad associations. If I wasn't so dated to the 50s, I bet it'd be back in with the other nicknamy names, like Addie, Maddie, Emmie, Evie, Tilly, etc.

Marguerite & Patricia is such a subtly glamorous sibset!
