Love Matthew! And I think it's really flexible - it goes with lots of middle names, short and long.

Thanks guys. His surname will start with a J - think Johnson - so I don’t want either an M or J middle name. Thanks for all the replies

Nothing wrong with alliteration

Lots of the classic names would work:
Matthew Timothy
Matthew Peter
Matthew Robert
Matthew Robin
Matthew Francis
Matthew David
Matthew Thomas
Matthew Henry
Matthew Sebastian

Matthew Finley would work too.

Do you have a surname in your family tree that could work as a middle name?

I disagree with the idea of an unusual or more “out there” middle name with Matthew as suggested, because I find that this looks like the parents weren’t brave enough to use a name in first place so they’ve shoehorned it in somewhere to bring some uniqueness. At the same time, I think a classic second name feels perhaps a bit dull (although I love Matthew!).

I think the way around this is to choose something with European routes to bring an elegance to timeless Matthew.
