Comments for the name Mattie

A famous bearer is Mattie Stepanek, a boy with muscular-dystrophy who amazingly lived to be 12 years old! He was extremely intelligent and started writing poetry at age 3. He was a peacemaker.

It can also be a nickname for Martha.

Mattie is pronounced "MAT ee" not "MAD ee."

Mattie is the oldest daughter of country-singer Alan Jackson and his wife Denise Jackson.

I have a friend called Mattie, but her full name is Mattison.

I love this as a nickname for Matilda.

I have a friend named Mattie. Everyone misspells it as Maddie. I think if I were her parents, I would have named her Maddie instead.

So cute! Not sure which I like better, Mattie or Maddie.

I liked this name, thinking it tomboyish but still sweet. Then I read Ethan Frome, was incredibly annoyed by the simplicity and naivite of Mattie's character, and will never look at that name as being anything other than plain.

If my future daughter, Mathilda, likes this, I will call her this name but spell it Matthie.
