Diminutive of PatriciaMeaning:
"noble, patrician"Description:
Trish was a cool -- in every sense of the word -- nickname back when Patricia was one of the most popular names in the US, primarily in the 1960s and 1970s. Trish is actually kind of a nickname of a nickname, Tricia, best known as Tricia Nixon, the daughter of President Richard who named after her mother, who was called Pat. Trish, along with almost every other name related to Patricia including Pat, Patti, Patsy, and Tricia, is seriously out of fashion today.

Spelling variation of LeilaDescription:
This spelling variation of the name only recently entered the Top 1000 in 2008. The popular Layla is currently very popular in the United States, while the more traditional Leila is also widely used. The added h at the end of this version could be considered superfluous, possibly leading to confusion down the road.

While it is a familiar choice in West African countries such as Nigeria and Cameroon, Flourish has only been given to a handful of American baby girls in recent years. As lively virtue names like Verity and Reverie continue to thrive, we'd love to see Flourish, erm, flourish here in the States as well.
