Nicknames for Patricia

MissFreo · August 2009

Help me think of some creative nickames for Patricia. It's my mom's name, and I love the full name, but I'm not loving Patty, Pat, Patsy, Tricia, Ricki....

Our LN is VERY long, so she's need a nickname.

What about Reese? Too much of a stretch?

I have one friend named Patricia and she goes by Trish...I don't know how you feel about that. I def do not like Pat or Patty either.

My mom's name is also Patricia! My middle name is Patrice, after her but slightly different. Not sure how you feel about that one.

I think Reese is a stretch. What about Patricia as the middle name? Or some form of it as the mn.

What about Tia?

My mom's best friend is a Patricia and she goes by Tish or Tia.

I had a little girl in my class last year named Patricia. She went by Tish or Tisha.

I like Tricia.

My mom goes by Pat now...she hated Patty growing up. Not a fan of Tish at all. And I guess if you want a nickname totally different (but loosely based) I would use Patricia as a middle name and find a first you really love : )

We considered Patrick for DS...so maybe something to consider down the road for you since Patricia is a bit outdated.

trish would be my nn for patricia.

I think Reece is way too far of a stretch.

rissa?

Tia would be cute.

Okay, you may want to flame me but I think it's cute. I met a German mom thru a local organization who named her daughter "trixie", after a beloved family friend. I think it's adorable. But, to each his own!

Unless you're Hispanic and pronouncing it "Pa-trees-ee-uh" then it's a stretch. You could do Reese Patricia. Tia is OK but NMS.

My mom's name is Patricia and I love her dearly but I wasn't going to name any of my kids that name, at least as a FN.

I think for the most part naming someone a FN after someone and then using a totally different name says, "I love you, but I really, really hate your name."

Other options--does your mom have a cool maiden name or middle name?

I think if you use Patrice as the FN, you could def. use Reese as the NN.

i also think reese is a stretch. trish is cute. personally, i would use it as a mn.

I think Reese is a really cute nn for Patricia. I would use that one!

I know a Patricia who goes by "Panchy," but it seems to sound a little better in Spanish (she's Puerto Rican) than English.
