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!
