I really like this name, especially as it's my own. And it is pretty funny, but a little annoying when they spell it with two "T's."

Matthew is a very strong name. Meaning "gift from God". Couldn't be more perfect for my son - Matthew Ryan.

I think I prefer it as 'Matthew' rather than 'Mathew'. I didn't even know you could spell it with one 't'.

I never thought "Matthew" could be spelt as "Mathew" before I saw a student at my school publish his name this way in an article he wrote for the school newspaper. I actually prefer this to "Matthew".

This spelling looks incomplete. When I saw it for the 1st time, I thought it's pronounced MAYTH-you.

I don't like the "math" part.

This is the way my name is spelled, and I quite prefer it this way to the traditional spelling. "Matthew" is much too common a name, anyway.

I hate this spelling and I don't understand why ANYONE who isn't a complete imbecile would butcher the name Matthew like this, I mean, you wouldn't name your son Jefrey rather than Jeffrey, or Rusell rather than Russell, Would you?

Also, Mat is an object, Matt is a name.

I like this name. My name is awesome! It is opposite of the way the bible spells it for a reason.

This is a really bad name.

I like the name Mathew. I think it's amazing because I got the name out of the Bible. Yes, in the Bible it has two t's, but I like how you can spell it with just one t. My youngest son's name is Mathew Michael Leon, but we don't call him Matt or anything like that, we call him Leo.
