Actually both Patty and Patsy were in frequent use as female names in the USA centuries before Patricia was in use. In the 1600s and 1700s these were pet forms of Martha, just as Peggy was a pet form of Margaret and Polly was a pet form of Mary. [noted -ed]

I hate this name. I really do. Why be Patty when you can be Trish or Tricia? It makes no sense to me personally.

Patty Boyd, wife of both George Harrison and then Eric Clapton. Inspiration for the songs "something" and "Layla". Not wife to both at the same time, obviously.

This name is pronounced Pat-ee, not Pad-ee.

No, Tricia is a stupid nickname, I think Patty is perfect.

My dog is called Patti (not Patty) and I think it is really cute on her! It's really hard to imagine this name on girl! Patti is great for pets though!

Makes me think of an excitable teenager in a poodle skirt and a sweater. Which makes me laugh when I try to think of a baby having that name.
