I adore
Matthias- it would definitely be a name I'd consider *if* I thought it was possible to avoid the nn
Matt. In my family, there is no way it would be avoided, I think. I would consider it for a mn though. I fell in love with the name when I was a kid reading the Redwall books by
Brian Jacques.
Matthias was one of my favourite characters :)
I pronounce it the same way as you, by the way.
