Help[Opinions] Peter or Patrick?
When i was expecting my third son, he's now 10, i had the name Mark picked out, but my dh didn't want another name starting with "m" as my other son is named Michael. So i decided on Peter, but he liked Patrick and i didn't like it at the time, the due date was nearing so eventually i went with Patrick. Now i love the name Patrick, and i'm glad i went with it. Peter is just so plain next to Patrick. Patrick is just so handsome, his nn is Patch. Did i make the right decision? Thanks.

Historical Note
According to the book Scottish Christian Names by Leslie Alan Dunkling (1978), in Scotland prior to the 20th century, it was a common misconception that Peter was a nickname for Patrick, due to the Gaelic spelling of Patrick (Patair/Padair).
So, you could have compromised on Patrick nickname Peter (or Patair)

I like Patrick so much better. My only hesitation with Patrick is the possible nn of Pat which I very much dislike. But it looks like you've solved that with Patch. Cute! :)

It sounds like you did make the right decision,
since you seem to like Patrick better than Peter. I, on the other hand, like Peter much more than Patrick. That said, I think the nn Patch is absolutely adorable!
I wanna go to the crappy town where I'm a hero.

ACK!
oh and to answer your question, Patrick is definitly a better name IMO.
Rick is always a possible nn for Patrick in high school....yeah, I'm weird.

Patrick is not a favorite name because I don't like Pat. Patch is cute though...but will it stick for much longer? A high schooler named Patch, hmm. I think I like Peter better, though not a fave either. Pete...hmm, don't like that much better. I think I like Mark best. Doesn't matter now though :)
