Thoughts on Matthew ?

[Thiswayupanddown]

Hello mumnetters,
I would like to know your thoughts on Matthew?
We both like it and think it will age well . It doesn't seem very popular at the moment where we live. Also any suggestions for middle names.
Thank you in advance.

Love it , our Matthew ( Matt ) is now late 20s .

I have an 11 year old Matthew John.

There is 1 other in his year 7 group of 106 but in primary he was the only one tight through the school.

Most of his friends call him Matt & he now refers to himself as Matt. He will always be Matthew to me I think!

A good choice - I might be biased tho lol.

I love it.

Matthew William
Matthew Seymour
Matthew James
Matthew Paul

Matthew Michael

I love it and would have used it as a first name if I could. My ds is adopted so couldn't but it is his middle name.

Love it

I have a Matthew Paul of course we love it, it’s never shortened either,he’s my first born and he’s a gorgeous 42 year old.

Love it - very classic and has a lovely soft sound. Also not overly common now although it was when I was growing up. I know an 11yo known as Matty - I'm sure it will be Matt when he hits teenage years.

My favourite cousin's name. His middle name is Peter.

Matthew is lovely

It will inevitably be shortened to Matt though. So how about Mark?

Mark / Matt...not much in it.

Mark cannot be shortened and he will always be called by his name accordingly.

Both traditional Saint names. Lovely

I have one too. Lovely name. Matthew to us and Matt to his friends.

I think it's a lovely name.
