I think the name Matthew is a STRONG, funny, Smart, and SEXY;) name. Anyone who thinks otherwise is WRONG.

I think that there are way too many Matthews in the world. I know so many guys named Matthew. It's a nice name though.

I agree with the previous comment. There were 6 Matthews in my grade at school alone. We need to start imposing quotas on the use of this name.

I agree, strong and sexy! Matthew Bellamy is the lead singer of a sorta famous rock band "Muse". A very good band and a very good singer. Matthew is strong and sexy and I absolutely adore him!

I wouldn't like to be called Matt if my name was Matthew. A mat is something you wipe your feet on.

My husband's name is Matthew (Matt for short). I don't have too much of an opinion on the name except that I agree with that too many guys are named this.

If you want to name your daughter after your husband named Matthew, you can use the name Mattea (same meaning as Matthew - a gift from God).

My brother's name is Matthew and I couldn't think of a better name for him! It fits him so well. We all call him Matt but my mom always calls him Matthew. Even though everyone says it's a really popular name, I only know one Matthew and that's my brother and I live in the bible belt so...

I much prefer the name Matthias -- a variation with more charm and originality (in my opinion). Matthew is a bit dull and overdone.

-- Anonymous User  9/1/2006

I LOVE this name but it's REALLY popular. Hopefully, the popularity will go down soon.

I like the name Matthew, and it's been in my family for hundreds of years. However, I HATE the nickname Matt.

I am not a fan of this name. I like it a little but I feel that it is too common. I do like the fact that it was in the bible.

My husband's name is Matthew and he is my gift of god. He's saved me from myself several times. I think that the name is used too much. I like the different types of the name like Mattie.

My brother's name is Matthew. Personally I like the original Hebrew better. Mattathiah or Mattaniah.

-- Atarah Derek  7/14/2007

This name is way too common. I know like twelve Matts.

Another good solid boys' name. You can't go wrong naming him Matthew. It sounds adult and noble, but when you shorten it to Matt, it sounds pithy and cool too.

-- johann14  9/25/2007

Overused and not a tad bit unique!

-- CharlieRob  9/29/2007

From the worlds of music and sport which always produce fine examples of manhood come: singer, guitarist and keyboard player of heavy rock band Muse - Matthew Bellamy; and now retired but still mightily sexy multiple-Olympic-gold-medal-winning rower Matthew Pinsent (his deep educated voice is such a turn-on, and he could rescue me from a river anytime!)

I changed my middle name to Matthew from James as I think Matthew sounds so much more manly. My first name is Jeff, so now I feel really good about my names as I have the names of both the Hardy-boy wrestling brothers. How sexy is that?

-- Anonymous User  12/15/2007

I LOVE the name Matthew, it's my husbands name and I think it's so strong and sexy. I call him Matt usually but other times I call him Matthew, I love the name! I love saying it. Anyone with this name should be proud!

Yeah, a smidge too popular for me. But I still like it.

I thought it was strange that people think the name Matthew is so popular, the only Matthew I've ever known is my older brother, and we're italian so we call him Matteo anyways. And I've met two other Matteos. I suppose Matthew's just not popular where I'm from.

It is hard to believe this name is so popular, I only have only known one Matthew (my uncle Matt) my whole life (that I can remember). I think Matthew is a nice name, but it is a bit too formal for me, I love the nickname Matt though.

Well, one of my best friends is called Matt (Matthew). The downside to his name is that whenever someone yells "Oi, Matt!" in class, about five guys turn around and say, "yeah?" Kinda over-used, so we've taken to calling them by their last names (it's a lot of names to remember).

-- 00Jayd-Dani  3/20/2009

This name is so boring and overused. I don't like the nickname Matt, which makes me think of dumb jocks. The foreign forms of this name are so much better.
