Yes

WaitrosePigeon · 16/01/2017 18:46

Yes

januarybooze · 16/01/2017 18:50

Not boring, maybe a little dated.

SellMySoulForSomeSleep · 16/01/2017 18:53

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

MrsPringles · 16/01/2017 18:55

Yes sorry

flumpybear · 16/01/2017 18:56

A bit

redexpat · 16/01/2017 18:57

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

MapMyMum · 16/01/2017 18:58

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

Gizlotsmum · 16/01/2017 18:58

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...

TheCraicDealer · 16/01/2017 18:59

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.

sleepyMe12 · 16/01/2017 18:59

Nope it's on my list so I might be biased Wink

2cats2many · 16/01/2017 19:04

I love Mat or Mati for short.

Bubbinsmakesthree · 16/01/2017 19:13

No it's a classic. Good strong name IMO!

DragonNoodleCake · 16/01/2017 19:16

I don't think it's boring st all

tankerdale · 16/01/2017 19:22

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

Cakingbad · 16/01/2017 19:24

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

AmyInTheBoonies · 16/01/2017 19:25

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

Grufallosfriend · 16/01/2017 19:27

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

Also don't like Matt

Laquila · 16/01/2017 19:30

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.

catsarenice · 16/01/2017 19:34

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!!

DramaAlpaca · 16/01/2017 19:36

No, not boring at all.

Pluto30 · 16/01/2017 19:40

No.

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

Parsley1234 · 16/01/2017 19:40

My friend is called Maturin never heard of it before but I like it now not so much Mathew

Patriciathestripper1 · 16/01/2017 19:41

Zzzzzzzz Zzzzzzz

MollyHuaCha · 16/01/2017 19:47

Not boring! It's a lovely name.
