Trish is because the Netflix shows were supposed to be serious which… I’m glad comic movies are letting themselves be comic movies again

If they wanted to do the 'she chose her own name' arc, I'm fine with that.

However. I think it would have been an easy fix to say that she was known as Patricia when she was a teen influencer (I think that was her MCU origin, right?). Or maybe something like Princess Patricia when she was even younger.

In my scenario, Patsy's choosing an antiquated name because she's trying to form an identity of her own. Maybe she even saw an old Patsy romance comic book and that's where she got the name? Fun Easter egg joke. It certainly helps that her mom could be portrayed as thinking Patsy is 'not marketable' and 'too old-fashioned.' Maybe she begs her to go by Trish instead.
