My mom named me after my uncle, but my uncle's real name is Gerald.
My mom liked the name Patrick, so she named me after her brother. I don't like my name.
We call my uncle Pat or Patrick because his real name is the same name as his dad's.
In my mom's side of the family, they name their kids after someone who has passed away.
If I could change my name, I would change it to Basil.
You make a great Patrick! I've never actually met anyone named Basil. It would be a unique name.
