I have both in different versions, so I love both. My T is older though.

What the fresh hell is Matthias. Matthew in most of Europe. Along with Matheus and Matheo

Matthias is quite popular in Germany. It's pronounced Matt-EE-as

I prefer Matthias, went to school with one. We all called him Tais - pronounced tie-s

Thomas is nice, Matthias is great (and more interesting IMO). I'm a bit surprised that people are so shocked/baffled by it!

People rarely call their DC by their full name, so think about whether you prefer Tom or Matt. There's a local Mattius who gets called Tius (tee-us) I love it.

Matthias by a mile.
Thomas is one of the most boring, common names I can think of.

Matthias. Love them both though.

They are both great names but I love Matthias and it's so much more unusual. I slightly prefer it pronounced the German way but either way is nice.
