Our son arrived last night and we like Matthew David but my husband now isn't sure if it's a bit too boring.

Thoughts? Thank you.

Classic. I like it.

Beachballl · 09/01/2017 22:27

Like it congratulations

I love it.

Neither name is popular or commonly used at the moment, so even though 30+ years ago they may have been seen as "boring", now they're refreshing and a break from the current trend of Alfies/Olivers/Theos etc.

Congrats! Flowers

I have a David Matthew (now 18) and I like it! Everyone knows the names and how to spell them but no-one else has them.

DramaAlpaca · 09/01/2017 22:53

Lovely name.

Sophronia · 10/01/2017 00:01

Lovely

OdinsLoveChild · 10/01/2017 00:16

I love them, I also have 1 of each. I havent found another David yet but my Matthew is 1 of 3 in his class and theres another 2 in year 1 so it's clearly making a come back. Lovely classic names. Grin

Not boring at all. A fine choice.

pilates · 10/01/2017 16:51

Lovely and congratulations Flowers

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 10/01/2017 16:52

Very lovely.

Do you like Matt?

PostTruthEra · 10/01/2017 16:52

It's lovely. Congratulations! Flowers

BoboBunnyH0p · 10/01/2017 16:55

It's my brothers name. It is lovely and a classic name. Not boring and a refreshing change.

handonhip · 10/01/2017 16:59

Perfect. Congratulations, and enjoy your lovely boy!

Spottyladybird · 10/01/2017 17:04

Super name. Not enough baby Matthews.

ClaryIsTheBest · 10/01/2017 20:56

David is lovely. Matthew is nice but for some reason I associate it with evangelical Christian preachers from America... Hmm

Broccolirevolution · 10/01/2017 20:59

Love this name.

RustyBear · 10/01/2017 21:01

I like both the names, but then DH is David and DS is Metthew, so maybe I'm biased!

ProseccoPoppy · 10/01/2017 21:02

Combo of my DH and DB's names, I like it. It's classic and won't date. Also passed the "could do any job" or "can you put it on a witness statement" tests (i.e. You can imagine Dr Matthew/Matt the bricklayer/Matthew Yourname QC/Matt the musician etc)

ProseccoPoppy · 10/01/2017 21:03

And congratulations Flowers

buttercup54321 · 10/01/2017 23:04

I love it. Mine is 22 x Congratulations xxx

BackforGood · 10/01/2017 23:12

Lovely. Both really classic names - neither over used nor unfashionable. Easy to spell and to pronounce.

shinysinkredemption · 10/01/2017 23:14

Two of my favourites and agree a nice change from the modern retro names
