My name is Patrick Anthony Ryan, and though I indeed find my full name to be of high value and refreshingly epic, often'times if I introduce myself as Pat, a myrad of corruption and confusion ensues, everything from pad to pen'to pet comes back at me if I don't put a diligent effort towards enunciation. Patrick is a strong and fitting name regardless, especially for warriors, epic voyagers, and shamanic spiritual leaders.

My eldest son is called Patrick after his father and his father. We call him Paddy-Joe which I just love although he'seems to have dropped the Joe part. I think It's a great strong and proper name.

If You'reply...thank you.
My name is Patrick Forest O❤️Neil when I was young I hated it because everyone called me Patty Hurst. If you don't know who that is google it. lol n the 70❤️s it was no fun being 8 year old and having your name turned into a meme before anyone knew what that was. As I have gotten older I have relaxed a lot. I have been referred to as ❤️It's Pat❤️ and funny story my grandson beli've I was named after Patrick starfish. Most people call me Pat and that's fine. Only one who ever really called me Patrick was my Mother when she was mad at me.

That is an opinion from a professional Patrick so that's accurate. Have a nice day. ❤️
