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 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 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.
