Patty is such a baby name.""Patty is good enough for me," said Mr. Fairfield. "If you want to be called Patricia, you must get somebody else to do it.

Trix disliked her original name because she thought it prissy and old-fashioned, but she didn't much like "Trix" either. Usage notes The name was formerly rare in English, but became popular in the 20th century, partly due to Princess Patricia (1886–1974), a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, so named since she was born on St. Patrick's day.
