Help[Opinions] Re: Katherine and Patrick

You can't get more wholesome.
Katherine's fine. Catherine and Kathryn are my preferred spellings. I guess I like them better than Caitlin. They feel like very different names to me even though I know they're variants of the same one.
I never cared for the name Patrick, but I've said on here before, all the Patricks I know are really smart, mature, um charismatic... they're like lucky types. This name has come to feel like a good luck charm to me over time. And I do admire St. Patrick after reading a cool book about him.
I don't care for Patricia. It's one of those names that I like in theory and sometimes as a middle name, but in the end I just don't like the pronunciation.

Thank you. Why did you say I couldn't get more wholesome? I want to hear the story in detail about what the intention was.

Quick English lesson: when we say 'You can't get any worse than that' or 'You can't get more wholesome' etc, the 'You' actually means any person at all; old-fashioned grammar books would have preferred 'One can't ...' but that's no longer used in everyday situations. So we could paraphrase 'You can't get more wholesome' as 'It's impossible to sound more wholesome than those names'.
I hope that helps. English can be tricky sometimes!

Yeah, I basically meant that Patrick and Katherine are as wholesome as names can get.
Thank you.
