HelpRe: 1940s names
in reply to a message by Anneza, nsi
Most of the Patricias I know go by Trish or Tricia to avoid the ugly Pat. I do know a Patsy though - and I just can't decide if I hate that or like it.
I agree about Pam, but I do know one Pamela who goes by Mella. I always thought that was pretty cool.

I've been told, but can't prove, that Pamela was originally pronounced pa-MEE-la, which doesn't please me, though Pamela nn Mella certainly does.
I've never met a Tricia, but Trish people abound where I live, in fact once I knew two separate and unrelated Patricia Samelastname women a generation apart, one known as Trish and the other as Tish. I thought at the time and still do that it sounds like a stifled sneeze. Patsy is better than Patty, I think, though that doesn't make it good!
