Is Patty an american name?

[Sean Cagney]

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

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

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...

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

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

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

They should call him Paddy, like the Irish.

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)

You better redneckognize..

Fixed, tbh.

It was a joke. Please chill out.

Evay, I found it funny, not offensive.

[EVAY]

Fixed, tbh.

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

plz have faith in Patty even when he misses shots

[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

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.
