Is Matthew boring??

[Covers10]

Thanks

Not at all boring, it's lovely. A strong, classic name that doesn't just make you think of one particular generation. So much better than 90% of the other suggestions on here IMO.

Matthew is a lovely name.

Not boring at all, it's lovely.

I love it.

Good classic name. I would probably use the nickname Matty for a baby if I was to use it.

Yup. It's boring and is a 70s/80s child name. Matteo is lovely though.
There are millions of great names out there!

Yes it's boring. I do like Matty as a nn though.

No, it's a classic. I might be biased though, as it's my son's name

Matthew is a lovely name! It would be on my list if I didn't have a cousin with the name.

I love Matthew but then I take people seeing my kids names as boring as a compliment. Have known a cool Matty and several lovely Matts. The only acceptable 'Matt' alternative for me would be Matthias, and only then if I were German.

Well it is a bit beige.... But then I don't mind dull forenames. I think the world is split into people who like unique individual names and those who like safe names ( which allow the child to develop their own personality rather than living up to being "tiger" or "chastity" or "rainbow-moonbeam"). Guess which camp I fall into!

I think it is timeless and classic and he is also likely to be the only one in his class as not terribly popular at the moment.

I really like it. If we are lucky enough to have another baby it would definitely be on my short list of contenders.

I have known three Mathews and all have been lovely, kind, intelligent grounded people. Not wild soles but not boring either.

Let's face it with a name like Matthew no-one is ever going to exclaim "ooh what an interesting name!" But equally no-one is going to do this >

It'd be on my shortlist if I didn't have close family with the same name, but it is exactly the kind of name I like. I thought I would be all for something quirky but when it comes down to it I think you can't go wrong with a strong classic.

It's a classic, not boring. And let's face it "interesting" is rarely a compliment when said about names! I can think of 4 Matthews I know under 10, so not dated around here either.

It's a classic!

No! It's classic and lovely. I really like it

No! My eldest is Matthew (or Matt). Know of several Matthews round here though it's not so popular that you get lots of Matthews in the same class.

Love what Flouncing said about Matthews.

No!!! I am biased as I have a Matthew :-)

He's only 3 but he's already got such a gorgeous, cheeky personality. Definitely not boring at all!

Totally boring and I hate the nn Matt.

Not boring. Classic strong name.

Mine is gorgeous!

It's fine.

It's a good name.

Dull as dishwater - in my opinion.

I've got a wild child called Matthew.
We shorten it to Math because he announced aged 3 he hated his teacher calling him Matt.
My shortlist was Matthew or Thomas. Thomas was too popular at the time.
