Uncommon diminutive

[edit]

I had to research this, but apparently "Pat" is legitimately a diminutive of "Pasquale". However, it is by no means common, hence my need to research it.

The examples I found online confirmed that nobody is expected to know this. For example, Pat DiCicco puts it in quotes, as does this obituary. Other examples use parentheses. 24.47.152.65 (talk) 01:23, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Even Pasquale doesn't mention "Pat", although it links directly to many other examples of articles that stick that in quotes. 24.47.152.65 (talk) 01:26, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:NICKNAME refers to Hypocorism#English, and Pasquale is not listed there. In my parts, it's not a common name either (not to say it might not be in others), and I would have never guessed Pat came from it.—Bagumba (talk) 12:51, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Bagumba: In my personal experience it's very common, and it's frequent all over Wikipedia, to wit:"pat" and "pasquale" gives scores of WP biography articles of individuals named Pasquale nicknamed Pat. As well as all the other usual tripe found at babynames dot com and other non-RSes. I'm fine with not changing this article back, but should it be listed on the page above as it occurs in fact and on Wikipedia? JesseRafe (talk) 13:04, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
