Re: Congratulations Jem!
Thanks Mary.That's a lovely job Michael, thank you.
You can ask me anything you like Pats, they have decided to call him Patrizio when he's in Rome (his mothers home city) and Patrick when he's in Dublin, a bit confusing for the little chap I should think, but he'll get used to it, he'll be just plain Paddy to me.
I seems Patrick is not an Irish name at all, something to do with Patricians, rich Italian Families centuries ago, so I'm told, Ah sure it won't be long till I have him takin a pint of the black stuff with me in the local.I'll be havin a planeload of 'Patricians' over for the christening and I'm a bit nervous about meeting them all, God it's comical when I'm trying to converse with my son's Italian father in law on the phone, I hate talking on the phone at anytime, but me with my Dublin accent and him with bits of English, it's like we were from different planets altogether.

Re: Congratulations Jem!
I checked out the name PatrickPatrick
From the Latin name Patricius, which meant "nobleman".
This name was adopted in the 5th-century by Saint Patrick,
He was a Romanized Briton who was captured and enslaved in his youth by Irish raiders.
After six years of servitude he escaped home, but he eventually became a bishop and went back to Ireland as a missionary.
He is traditionally credited with Christianizing the island, and is regarded as Ireland's patron saint.
In England and elsewhere in Europe during the Middle Ages this name was used in honour of the saint.
However, it was not generally given in Ireland before the 17th century because it was considered too sacred for everyday use.
It has since become very common in the Emerald Isle .
Italian Patrizio
English equivalent: Patrick
Origin: From the Latin Patricius,
Other Italian Forms: Patrizia
As a boy's name it is a variant of Patrick (Latin), and the meaning of Patrizio is "patrician, noble".
The baby name Patrizio sounds like Patricio, Patrizius and Patricia.
Other similar baby names are Patrik, Patrice and Patric.
