"Pat" name

[tlwbaby.livejournal.com]

Hello. We are due to have our first baby in May. We are not finding out what we are having but I have a feeling it is a girl. Either way, I want to have a few names ready. If it is a girl, the first name will most likely be Norah or Nora. I am very close with my mother and wanted to use part of her name for the middle name. Problem is her name is Patti. Not Patricia, just Patti.

I have a few suggestions that people gave me to use the "Pat" part, but can anyone think of any others?

Nora (h) Patterson
Nora (h) Patrice

Thanks!

I like Norah Patrice the best.

Matilda. (Mat becomes Pat, like how Margaret becomes Meg, then Peggy.)
Patience.
Patsy.
Patrice.

If this baby had been a girl her name would have been Nora! I like Nora Patrice.

norah patsy?

i think it's adorable!

I think Nora(h) Patrice has the best rhythm.

both of the ones i was going to suggest (patience and patsy) have already been suggested.

i prefer norah with an h, it looks more complete to me for some reason.

i think norah patrice sounds quite nice! i like patterson too, if the whole word/name has some kind of meaning to you.

Patterson doesn't make sense unless it's a family name too or something. Otherwise, why would you give your little girl a random surname ending in the masculine -son?

Norah Patrice does sound quite nice though.
Norah Patience, as others have suggested, is allso pretty good. Someone mentioned Patia. If it's said Puh-TEEuh or Pah-TEEuh, I think it sounds good too.

I didn't say I would name her patterson. It was a suggestion from someone. And as for the
"son", I think Madison is pretty popular and uses the same three letters.

I thought you were listing suggestions that you were considering. Sorry.
Madison has been very popular; that is true, but I don't like that name either. Madison is a last name and last names that end in -son usually have their roots in someone being so-and-so's son. Patriarchal lines and all that. I just don't get using them on girls.

I met a girl named Patra once. I don't know how good that sounds with Nora, but it's another suggestion. Oh, and I like Nora a lot better than Norah.

I like Norah better, such a pretty name!

I did some searching online and found the name http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Pathinia (Pathinia), which is a variation on the Greek name 'Parthenia'.

I second some others: Norah Patience sounds really nice.

*My links aren't working today! I found the name Pathinia. That's all I wanted to say ;).

Patria
Patagonia (a place that maybe could work as a middle name)
Patina (the aged look thing)
