Bit biased but i like it! Mine is Matthew at home but Matt at school and to friends.

Lovely, I think the three names sound great together.

Very popular in Ireland, think it might even have been the most popular boys name a couple of years ago.

It's an okay name.

Yes most People, that was his request

Matthew is nice. Be prepared for it to be shortened to Matt . Prefer Oliver as a middle name - two is overkill.

My 18 yr old DS has just changed his whole name, surname included (no contact with father) and his name is now Matthew!

Matthew is a great name. Classic but underused now and with potential for some nice nn's. Your middle names aren't really my taste but it all sounds fine together.

sphinxster · 08/02/2016 07:07

Lovely names.

Three classic names. Can't go wrong there. Personally I would spell it George buy I know what you youngsters are like with your wacky names Wink

Fantastic name, classic but a bit under used at the moment. I was always anti three names as opposed to two, but then used three for my ds Grin Sounds great, why not try it out for a few days, see how it sticks.
