the ONE that stands out the best to me, and that i happen to adore, is Avery Patricia. I'm sorry for your loss, and that is so great to want to honor your mother in your little girl :)

I agree completely. Avery is not a name that usually makes my short list, but I *love* it with Patricia.

Catherine Patricia is good, too, but I might be biased, since Catherine is my favorite girls name ever :)

I like:

Madeline Patricia
Catherine Patricia
Elizabeth Patricia
Adele Patricia

What about Patrice? I don't know if you want to use the exact name but I think Patrice would sound lovely with a lot of these names that end in a. Like Ava Patrice, Norah Patrice, Emma Patrice, Julianna Patrice, etc.

I like most of the combos that do not have first names ending with an 'a.' My favorites are Catherine Patricia and Avery Patricia.

I like Avery Patricia as well.

we are doing the same thing. i lost my mom almost 6 years ago, and our first daughters middle name will be colleen, which was her name. i love the name, and my husband has suggested using it as a first name (because he loves it too) but i just think that would be pretty wierd, you know? calling after my daughter colleen? it would just feel strange.

i think these are almost all really great, honestly. patricia goes really nicely with just about anything.

my favorites:

ava
lily
emma
catherine
olivia
lucy
madeline
erin
grace
amelia
emily

ahhh! my middle name is patricia and it's after my mother! i love the idea of you wanting to honor your mother, it's very sweet.. and i love my name, laura patricia :)

out of your combinations, i really love:
emma patricia
norah patricia
olivia patricia
ava patricia
lily patricia

i think it flows best paired with a shorter name.

Hmm...just tossing another suggestion into the ring...if you don't like Patricia in its entirety as a first name, how about Tricia or some other variation? That way it's still a tribute to your mom, but not the same exact name, if you follow...
