Also how many do you know with the name?

Idris is slowly becoming a favourite.

My Playmobil people have an Idris and a Matthias. But no Rico or Emilio yet...

Yes to Idris and Mathias-I think of Idris being Welsh and Elba,
Mathias is a really European name have known a German and an Italian..,both really good guys so had a positive vibe for me!
Really nice and can be Matt/Mattie nickname

Rico is a Madagascar penguin ..Emilio ok but prefer Emile

Ellmau · 24/05/2020 22:48

Mathias is the best of these.

Love Idris, it’s on my list too Smile. I like all of the others apart from Emilio. I prefer Matteo to Matthias though.

I know a little Matthias (math-EYE-us), lovely name.

Idris is great too, I have an elderly Welsh relative called this

user1493494961 · 25/05/2020 23:34

Like Mathias but would pronounce it Math-eye-us.

Pleasenodont · 26/05/2020 08:45

I only like Idris.

IWantToBeNynaeve · 26/05/2020 08:50

I love Mathias, I'd pronounce it as Matt ay us. I like Idris too but its very tied to Idris Elba imo.

peperethecat · 26/05/2020 08:59

What is your background, OP? I quite like all of these names but I would find it a bit weird if, for example, Dave and Sarah Smith from Manchester with no hispanic connections whatsoever called their son Emilio.

My first thoughts pretty much match @MikeUniformMike exactly. I'm sorry I really don't like any of them, I really don't like Rico but if I had to choose I'd say idris

MikeUniformMike · 26/05/2020 19:12

I've only ever met 2 welsh men named Idris. The sudden popularity is almost certainly because of the actor. It's ok though.
I know 2 people called Matthias - one is Mat-ee-as, the other Math-eye-as. Some people will insist on using the other version. Maybe I just know strange people but someone else insisted on calling Anthony Anth-ony when he said it Ant-ony, she was right everyone else was wrong.

Matthias is by far the best on your list.

I like Idris and Mathias. I know two Mathias-es, both of whom are Mat-EYE-us.

In German it's Mat-ee-yus. Mateusz (Polish) would yield the A vowel sound in the middle.

I love idris it's a timeless name
