Maybe
Patty is like....what Sophie/Ellie/Sadie etc *used* to be, right before they got popular. Those names once upon a time were fuddy-duddy old lady names that people couldn't believe parents were using on kids. I wonder if the trend will keep evolving to include things like
Peggy,
Pansy and
Patty as parents look for fresh retro meat? I feel like
Patty is in a fashion limbo along with
Nancy and
Peggy and names like that.
