How about Sean Patrick Flanery? My ex-husband is John Patrick Mooney, and he's 1/2 Black Irish, so my son, Christian James Mooney is 1/4 Black Irish.
Am Patrick only after Michael Thomas but I love the name and just completed my first novel (published ) about St.Patrick!
How about Patrick Henry and Patrick McMahon? Both Irish Americans and good guys.
It seems there is a dearth of Irish "Patricks" when you have to throw in a "Pat" and a last name "Patrick" to get to a total of Ten. I nominate Patrick Cooper to be added to the list!
We can't all be saints !!!!!!!!!
