Is Patty an american name?

[jkid12456]

A lot of people are named Patty (more frequent in women) in usa. But i see it being more in south usa, like texas. Have you heard of Patty around your area? Seems like a hillbilly, redneck name.

[RD2191]

Patty Melt, so yes. Is his name Patty or Patrick?

[SpursFan86]

.....his real name is Patrick.

[Mikeanaro]

Thats because you can name a person as you like in the US, like Metta World Pis for example.

[SpurPadre]

It's really Patrick.

They seriously need to do a Whataburger Patty Melt advertisement with Patty Mills in it. It would be great.

Threads like these emphasize just how bored we all have become.

We need to like, lose a game or something. I miss all the hater threads.

They should call him Paddy, like the Irish.

Funny he doesn't look Irish. I would have thought Polish.

Australia is very Irish, heritage wise.

Just kidding...is there such a thing as an American name?

This is the reason. His name is Patrick and in Great Britain (especially Ireland) the nickname is Patty, which in Ireland is said as "Paddy". The Australia that was part of Great Britain is the reason for this being his nickname.

But oddly, he doesn't look Irish.

He is an indigenous Australian. It would be odd if he does look Irish.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

He is an indigenous Australian.

Aboriginal.

Another jkid12456 thread means it's time to pad post counts

He fits in nice with the Spurs. They all have queer names like Timmy, Patty, Austin Gay, Misses Parker.

Well they're both "under the crown" so to speak... Eh.

aka indigenous Australian.

I know, I was agreeing with you :lol

And none of those so called queer names are losers like the Hawks players are out in a weak conference.

[mosdef17]

I wouldn't overthink the country of original or cultural significance of him being called 'Patty'. It has nothing to do with the Irish or any of that, Aussies just generally give everyone a nickname. Matthew - Matty, Robert - Robbo, David - Dave-o, Patrick - Patty, Aron - Az. It's just what we do...

[EVAY]

I was being facetious, tbh. Sorry, I always forget to put my sarcasm in blue.

[gospursgojas]

I remember someone saying on a broadcast when he first got here he doesnt like to be called Patty. He prefers Patrick.

[DJR210]

Wonders when this guy loses thread privileges..

[Austin_Toros]

I was being ignorant, tbh. Sorry, I always forget to put my ignorance in blue.

Fixed, tbh.

:tu The Irish would not shorten Patrick to Patty. Patty is short for Patricia. Paddy is short for Patrick and comes from Padraig, a variant of Patrick. (Ex. It's St. Paddy's Day, not St. Patty's Day)

[G-Dawgg]

You better redneckognize..

[Macca76]

Fixed, tbh.

It was a joke. Please chill out.

Evay, I found it funny, not offensive.

[EVAY]

Fixed, tbh.

don't understand the meaning of facetious, eh?

Try to get over yourself, son. Life is too short.

That book's hilarious :lol Look up Samuel L. Jackson's reading of it on youtube if you haven't already.

[superjames1992]

plz have faith in Patty even when he misses shots :cry :cry :cry

[james evans]

i always call him Patty Hearst. not to diss him because i think he's a good player off the bench. i'm also not calling him feminine, i'm just so used to the name "patty" being associated with "hearst" in my lifetime haha.

[vma16]

I think the OP is confusing Patty wity Paty wich is short for Patricia, a female name

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Irish. Reason Australian are rough and alot of Irish names is b/c the English shipped alot of Irish, Welsh, etc prisoners to Australia in the 17-1800's. Remember Mick from Crocodile Dundee. Mick is a an Irish nickname. Same with Patty.
