Man, that is tough. I can't believe that they didn't name you Leon after
all of that. ;-)

Now it is war!
Here is a little information on the greatness of the name "Pat". My name
means of the noble patrician class, which I clearly demonstrate, heh-heh.

I will admit, though, that it is not an easy name as a child. If you go
by Pat, you will get called Patti. Try going by Patrick and you become
Patricia.
It's not as bad as naming a boy Sue, (R.I.P., Johnny Cash), but it's
close. :-)
