    Does anyone know why he's named Patrick? Spongebob, Krabs, Squidward, and Plankton are kind of obvious names, but I don't know why he's named Patrick or anything.

    Because Patrick's a unique name. Besides, his last name is Star.

    Patrick's a nice name.
    And it can be nicknamed as Pat or Rick!

    Yeah, but "pearls" are found under water and they're considered to be very pretty, and Mr. Krabs loves his daughter, so I think that suits her name.
