What do you think of the name Matthew?

[Supercherry]

I want something traditional, possibly biblical.

Matthew is the only name striking me at the moment. DS2 is due in 7 weeks.

Matthew is a great name but I am biased too.

There are quite a few though, even though I didn't know any when I had my ds.

I like it

boring

My DS3 was, and is, called Matthew or Matty for short. He died in 1992 when he was almost 8 years old. Its a fantastic name....a strong name....a respectful name....it means, as others have said 'gift from god.' My Matty was certainly that xx

the best ,but with 2 t's

shabbapinkfrog ..how awful for you to loose your precious son. i dont know how you ever come to terms with that, if ever

You dont sweetheart - just check my profile...it goes worse!!! Oh yes Matthew always has to have 2 t's!!! I have had Daniel, Gareth, Matthew and Thomas. It makes me smile just thinking about it!

Love it - and chose it for our DS.

Unfortunately we seem to have settled on Moo as nn - will have to rethink before school starts

nicknames are brilliant names xxx

just read your profile...im 53 and cant wait to be a grandma too. Sorry for your losses. Would Matthew have been 25 if he were still with you? My sons are 21 and 17 and i love them to bits

Yes he would have been 25 - in fact he is 25!!!! Being a gran is ace - I have my grandson Lewis every afternoon while his lovely Mum works. He leaves me cream crackered but he is at a brilliant age....15 months and trying so hard to talk. We have been having 'snogs' 'loves' and 'kisses' all day today

I have 27 year old twin boys, a 25 year old boy and a 12 year old boy xxxxxx

Shabba - so many boys . My DS is also 15 months, and he is an excellent cuddler too - bigs hugs and sloppy kisses (although he sometimes bites my nose ).

loads of boys!! My nephew and his partner are having a little girl - due on Christmas Day - she will be first girl in our family since I was born almost 53 years ago

Shabbapinkfrog, so sorry for your loss.
