I used to hate it, but I've mellowed on it: maybe because Mateo seems so boring now, and since I feel like Andrew, Matthias, Matilda aren't so bad, it just doesn't stand out as *the most boring name ever* anymore (Ryan in contrast is one that still does). Matt still seems like Josh and Jake to me, though.
Very nondescript and casual like a solid color T-shirt.Mathew looks ugly to me.

I think it's alright but only if you're a christian.

I like both but prefer Mathew. The two Ts next to the H always bothered my eyes. I wouldn't use either name because of how common they are.

I prefer the Matthew spelling. I would consider using it, but I have a cousin with the name. Plus I don’t like the nn Matt which feels inevitable.

I prefer Matthew with two Ts. I find the name very dull, boring, predictable, and until very recently I also found it dated. Now I know a Matthew who is all of two months old, so clearly it's still alive and kicking. He's got a brother named Adam, which I also find dull, boring, predictable ...
