An ex-boyfriend of my daughter's and his now girlfriend are expecting a boy and planning to name him Matthias. When I heard it, I thought it was nice. I hate Matthew, but what I hate about Matthew is the second syllable, and Matthias avoids that. On the other hand, a Matthias might be called Matt, and I'm sick to death of Matt, I've known quite a few, due to the popularity of Matthew.
What do you think of Matthias?
