Alex, Matthias or Cassius

BelieveItCanHappen · 15/05/2020 00:53

I love Trey.

whatausername · 15/05/2020 00:57

Lashiah is very feminine to my ears and Tareyon is a right mouthful so I'd take those two off if it were my decision.

Can you narrow it down to, say, 3 or 4 then decide when you see his face?

whatausername · 15/05/2020 00:59

Matthias is pretty damn nice plus it travels well. Idk if he'll study or work abroad ofc but it's nice to have a name that has an international vibe.

Aclh13 · 15/05/2020 03:31

Cassius? No ❌
Eliyas yes nice name and unique✔️
Zakiyon not sure❔
Matthias can be shortened to Matti good name✔️
Trey I associate this with 'f' boys❌
Tareyon never heard this but love if you don't use it I might add it to my list ✔️
Alex ?? Strong name❔

Hoppyhops · 15/05/2020 03:53

Eliyas , Matthias and Alex. All yes. Matthias is my fave I think.

Cassius- just don’t like it.
Trey- agree with PP who said it’s like a ‘f’ boy name.
Tareyon -just looks like it should sound like tarragon to me?

Vanadis · 15/05/2020 04:01

My top three would be Matthias, Alex, and Eliyas (although I’d spell it Elias)

I don’t know how to pronounce Zakiyon or Tareyon

Honeybee85 · 15/05/2020 04:12

Matthias is gorgeous.

The Italian version, Mattheo, was on my list of potential names for DS.

finallychangedmyusername · 15/05/2020 08:06

I like Cassius, Matthias, Alex (although I prefer Alexander on the birth certificate) and Elias (spelt this way).

Are you pronouncing Matthias Math-EYE-uz or Matt-TAY-uz? I like both options.

SallyWD · 15/05/2020 08:16

I love Cassius. I knew one when I was growing up in the 80s. He was very cool and handsome!

VerityB1 · 15/05/2020 08:26

These names are unusual to my eyes so unsure how to pronounce, (could this be an issue for your child as he goes thru school and into adult life, always correcting spelling and pronunciation due to people like me), so will only comment on ones more familiar with:
Cassius (always reminds me of Mohammad Ali)
Alex (not terribly keen as affected by Alex's I know!)
Matthias (I like it, and he can always shorten to Matt or Mattie if he hates it)
Obv you choose what you like for your lovely baby.

FeedMeSantiago · 15/05/2020 11:01

I like Cassius and Matthias best.

Alex (and Alexander/Xander) is lovely, but I don't think it goes well with Amayah.

I think Matthias is my favourite, sounds like you and DH have found a good compromise name, it has a nice international feel, it's a name most people will have heard of for your DH, whilst still being unusual like you wanted.

Amayah and Matthias - lovely Smile
Amayah and Cassius - also lovely

@whatausername
Yeh I did think that about lashiah then changed it to lashai.

That’s what I’m doing atm to 4 so when he comes we will decide much easier isn’t it.

I love Matthias glad you agree I no there’s a few ways of spelling so I will look at that to x

Yes it would be Alexander on the birth certificate I don’t really like shortening names but I would this name.

Mathias -first way you have spelt

@VerityB1
Yeh but then most unusual names you will have to spell and correct people, I’m always correcting doctors surgery ect ect, but then it’s nice to have a different name
