Not boring, maybe a little dated.

I love it! But it isn't very "in" at the moment.

Yes but dependable I feel. You can always count on a Matt.

No!! It's a classic name I think that won't become dated like some of the most popular names could do

See I am biased as have a Matthew and love the name. Shortened to Matt but grandparents, he is the only one in his class...

Yes. It was v popular when I was at school (born late 80's) and they all a bit....dull. Sorry. Same goes for the name Jonathon. They are the name equivalent of beige for me.

Yes (to me) but if you love it that doesn't matter! I don't dislike it I just find it a bit meh.

It's a beautiful classic name. It can't date.

It's very safe, a bit dated too - I might guess he was named after his dad.

Yes, I find it a little dull and boring, sorry

Also don't like Matt

It's all subjective, OP. I quite like it but do think it's a bit boring - that's doesn't mean no-one should use it. Ironically, it'd be a boring world if we were all called Balonz and Scheherazade.

I do like Matteo and Matthias, particularly the latter.

I love Matthew! Was on my shortlist for DS but dp's best friend is called Mat and DP didn't want all the jokes about Mat being the father!!

It's a classic name. Lovely. Not boring, not dull, never likely to date etc.
