Mateo, thoughts???

[SixtyReasons]

I think it's unusual but cute :)

I love matteo and mattias

I love it, it's the name of the baby in Jane the Virgin.
Although I would assume the parents either spoke Spanish or had Spanish speaking heritage.

Reminds me of the barman on Benidorm x

Note: Mateo with one T is the spanish/hispanic spelling and Matteo with two T's is the Italian spelling....if that makes a difference to you.

Love it but you'd need some foreign connections to use it - otherwise use Matthew!

Barman in Benidorm.

I know 3 Mateos, all in the 17-20 age range.

I like it.

I would also assume you were Spanish/Mexican/Italian.

I like it, but would probably not use it if I didn't have those connections, if that makes sense.

I like Matteo. However I'm not keen on the way some Brits pronounce it May-ay-oh. I prefer the Italian version Matt-e-o.

Lovely

Lovely! Really nice. Not sure why posters are saying you need to have connections to use it... are we getting upset about cultural appropriation of Spanish and Italian people now?!

There's a little Matteo in DD's nursery class, he's known as Teo (Tay-oh). He's adorable so I think it's a great name. Don't know about his parents backgrounds but he is a little blondie.

Love all of the Matt names, Teo is cute !

Makes me think of Benidorm too, particularly the way Les/Lesley says it, Matt-ee-oh in a Geordie accent

Reminds me of Potato

It reminds me of Jane the Virgin too

The Spanish speakers pronounce it with a very soft 't' - it would sound less lovely in most English accents imo (may not be relevant if you're not in England!).

Love it! It's number 1 on my list.

Matteo = Italian. Fine but bit odd if no Italian heritage

Mateo = Spanish/Latam or rose wine. Ok if Hispanic heritage. Or you like rose wine.

Matteo more usable if no foreign connection due to pronunciation

I've got a friend with Italian roots who lives in the UK with a Matteo. She took him to visit family in Italy and was amazed by the number of little Mattoes around. Apparently it's really popular there at the moment. I think it's a great name that works well in the UK though.

So common in Spain, they are everywhere. Nice enough name.

Restaurant around our corner!!
Nice food tho!!

Sounds beautiful in some accents, dreadful in the local accent where I live. I know this as I heard someone shouting it at a soft play and it just ruined a gorgeous name. Could have been that particular voice though I suppose...

Not unless you are Spanish. How about Coolio?

Think it's cute, reminds me of the baby from Jane the Virgin :)
