About Patsy
This sassy, spunky name was used for the mostly Irish jump-roping pigtailed girls of the thirties and forties -- and some Irish and Italian boys as well. Its most noted bearer was iconic country music singer Patsy Cline (born Virginia), and was sighted most recently in the Ab Fab movie. After reaching Number 52 in the late thirties, it dropped off the list completely in 1970--and we're not anticipating a return.
Patsy for boys
Patsy has been rarely heard for half a century, for either gender, and we're not expecting that to change in the near future..
Pronounced PAT-see.
As of October 2026, Patsy ranked #6059 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #52 in 1936.
