Just that really, how would you pronounce it and what do you think as a name? Would be a brother for Luca if we decide to go with it.

Thanks for all the responses think we may finally have a name for dc4!!!( if it's a boy which I have a strong feeling it is) I really like tayo as a nickname too. Thinking of a name for this one has been so hard as we've already used everything that we like!!
Hmm now we just need to come up with a possible girls name too Grin

Mat-e-o. Very nice name)

Just wanted to say I love this name. It doesn't go with our surname or I'd most definitely use it.

Ma-TAY-oh

i would put another T in so it gets pronounced properly.

Just be aware mine often gets called potato, he's a confident child so not bothered.

Ma-tay-o. Lovely name. Made me think of Mateo from Benidorm. X

Ma (short vowel like apple) - tay - oh

It's lovely. I know a Mateosz (sp?) (Mat - ay-osh) - polish and a French/ Brazilian Mathias (pronounced Matt-ee-ass)
