    Patricia is my middle name so I didn't appreciate it either! Michael has recently entered a list of the worst names to give a child because it's boring so stick that up your pipe and smoke it Michael *yawn* sorry I was getting BORED typing your name. ;)

    I don't think it's that awful really but do you really want to be calling your baby Pat or Patty? It's one of those names like Valerie, Maureen or Barbara that I just can't imagine a child having

    Pat is something you do to dogs or else something you tread in. ;)

    Nothing specifically wrong with Patricia, but I prefer Scarlett.

    It's just that it's out of fashion at the moment - I'm sure it will come back at some point in the future - look at all the Emilys, Alices and Sophies around currently.

    That's my middle name. Named after my mum. Hated it as a kid, but don't mind it now I'm older.

    I babysat for a baby called Patricia once. It was such a strange name for a baby at the time. I quite like the name, but it just seems to suit people over the age of 50 more than a newborn...:o:o Or as a middle name.

    It's great that there is so much you can do with the name. I've known people called Trish, Trisha, Patty and Patsy. My friend hates being called Pat, it's always Trish.

    awe I think these kind of lines in programmes are just wrong because they'll always be somebody who will be offended. I don't think I'd take too kindly if my real name was spoken about in that manner. I know it's a programme and we shouldn't take it seriously and perhaps we should brush it off but I didn't see the need for that line quite honestly.

    Oh, boo hoo.

    The problem is theirs, not the programmes.

    One of the things all new parents have to consider very carefully is what the name they select for their child will be shortened to in the cruel world of the playground.

    On that basis, Patricia (Pat, Trish, Tish, Trisha etc) is far preferable to Scarlett (Scar).

    Maybe the evil kids of Walford will dub the child Scar Tissue.

    Or they could just call her Carly, or something like that?

    Emily, Alice and Sophie are nice names though and I think will last forever. Names like Beryl, Mable, Doris, Edna etc are all going to vanish forever as they just sound so out of fashion and I cannot see them ever making a comeback.

    You never know, names like Molly & Ruby were extremely unfashionable twenty years ago.

    That said, I'm struggling to believe Gertrude will ever be back in vogue. :D
