[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Mattias?
I adore Matthias. Thats my favourite spelling cause it looks the most complete to me and I worry about Mattias being more prone to the nn Matt, which I loathe. But I do like all the spellings of it. I prn. it the same way as you, in terms of spelling I think Matias is the most straight forward pronounciation wise.I plan on using Matthias as a middle name for either a first or second son- my combo atm is Oscar Matthias. I love the meaning and the sound of the name.Andreas and Mattias sound good for brothers. I wouldn't worry too much about nn's, they usually just develope once a child is here. But I can totally understand wanting to avoid Matt (yuck) by having another nn in place from the start. How about Tias? (tee-es). Way better than Matt. Love the sibset. Cecily is a great name. I don't think sibsets have to match at all so I'm all for mixing.

Thanks for the reply. Im not set on nns I just want ones in place so I dont end up with Andreas and Mattias beind called Andy and Matt(gross). All three of my sisters sons get called nns by the rest of the family, so I'm certain it will happen with my kids too. And I'd rather it be a nn I like. I really like Tias and Mac right now. Btw, Oscar Matthias is so handsome!

Fair enough. Totally get you on that. Thats why i hestitate about using Luca and Micah- I'm scared they'd get Luke & Mike (yuck) and I can't come up with anything to replace them with. I'm all for Tias.Thankyou. I am quite in love with it myself.

If it's any help, the Micah I know has never been called Mike (his dad calls him Mikey sometimes, but he's the only one).
