Pronunciation
I dont know any Irish, but it seems to me that the pronunciations given are backwards. Right now in the lede it says Pádraig is /ˈpˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəc/ and Pádraic is /ˈpˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəɟ/. I know Irish spelling can be unpredictable but shouldn't it at least be the spelling with "g" that's the voiced consonant and "c" the voiceless? The infobox, at least, suggests /ɟ/ for "g".  ☮ Soap  ☮  22:10, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Origin
I was always told that Patrick derived from the diminutive of the Gaelicised version of Peter: Peadaraig -> Peadraig -> Padraic.

Looking at it, this doesn't really explain the long vowel, so it's probably wrong, but it seems odd at there's no mention of this theory in the article.
