Oi, My name is Padraig (Patrick), nothing girly about me ta very much:)
I do hate it shortened to Pat or worse still where I'm from it can even be , wait for it, Patsy.
I really hate the abbreviations for a man and never use them myself, so I actually agree with you.

I can picture all the ultra masculine men named Tim in one room, fighting over the last fairy cake. Mr. Henman, Mr. Mallett, ......................................................... .
