St. Paddy, not St. Patty
 
Enough said.

A timely reminder.

What about St Pat's Day? No one says St Pad's Day!

One of my colleagues is Irish and although he calls himself Patrick his name is actually spelled Padraig. Which is why it is St Paddy's.

Well, if we want to be literally correct, it should be St Padraig's Day.

Yes.

I am not going to answer 29Feb until 2027.

He's only Padraig in modern Irish. Patrick comes from Latin.
He was probably Welsh, and certainly not Irish.

Tabernash2 Mar 16th, 2014 11:05 AM
Let's just settle on Patrick, then. I always thought Padraig was a weird name.

I'm about 100% Irish, so have the final say. Haha

Kiss Me, I'm Irish!,
