Is Matthew boring??

[Covers10]

Thanks

I love Matthew too and you really don't hear it that much anymore. That said, we did decide against it, as it was boring to us, having grown up with many Matthews. Matt Our Surname, just sounded like Matt from IT or something, and didn't seem right on a baby somehow.

We went with a 'proper', traditional, classic name, but an Irish one, so it isn't common in England.

Matthew isn’t dated. Yes, it was very popular in the 90s, but it’s still in the top 70 names and is used more frequently than names like Jackson, Louis, Elliot and Finn.

I don’t like the name matthew at all, however I have two friends who are Matts and they aren’t boring, they are dearly cherished friends.
I hold Matthew in the same regard as Jonathon. Totally inoffensive but not the kind of name that grabs me

It’s just a classic. It’s always a trade off - exciting names aren’t timeless classics. I wouldn’t worry - if you like it, go for it.

I really like Matthew. Personally less keen on Matt as a nn, but it would definitely happen.

Not a fan but it is a classic I guess, like John or Joseph. I wouldn’t use either of those either

No. It's a timeless classic.

I dont think it's boring. Its classic.

Yes

Yes boring.
