Via MI Life.
These results weren't exactly accurate. I have met one other Patia in person. In Whitefish, Montana, of all places. I went to a moving sale in someone's house and freaked when I saw a box labeled "Patia Jo's photos." Her name was short for Patricia. I was named after my grandmother, Hypatia, who was named after Hypatia of Alexandria.
Since the Internet came along, I've discovered quite a few other Patias. It always offends me a little. How DARE they have my name?! I spent 25 years or so thinking I was the only one, so it takes a little getting used to. Silly, I know.

Sheesh, that's a lot of Rachel's running around
There are 97 of me. Dang.
Patia is a very cool name, Hypatia rocks though.
When I was growing up, I was the only Megan. Now, you couldn't swing a stick without hitting one.
The first time I discovered the author Nicci French with her two c's I felt similarly aggravated. Could explain why I just use Nicole these days... ;)
