[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew several men and little boys with this name when I lived in Germany. They all spelled it with two ts, though: "Matthias." Is there a reason you are using the single letter t in the spelling? I like the name, but I don't like your spelling, and logically, emitting the initial t means the remaining t plus th should sound like 'th' as in "thick." So my vote is yes, it is nice, but only with a double t. [/quote] Spelling it that way because that is how DH's father spelled his name. [/quote] DP - the name and spelling are great, separately. As someone with an unphonetic (creative) spelled name, I would change the spelling to Mattias. You're still honoring the father, but doing your son a favor by not subjecting him to a life of mispronunciations. Updating the spelling does not take away from the connection to his namesake.[/quote]
