[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for  the feedback. We've decided to go with Mathias . Now to figure out a middle name.
As for  spelling I appreciate the concern that it isn't authentic enough, but my FIL is Danish he spells his name exactly as I spell it in the OP and that's good enough for us.[/quote]

And lest people still keep insisting that the OP is making it up!!!!, here's the Wikipedia entry for Danish badminton player Mathias Boe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathias_Boe[/quote]

I didn't say she was making it up. [b] I said that I grew up (and still have) a name that isn't quite phonetic [/b]and it's freaking annoying.  People always stumbling over your name, having to choose whether to correct people or not, and it being misspelled more often than not.  If OP has strong feelings about keeping FIL's spelling, then so be it.  But I wanted her to know it continues to be enough of a PITA to me that I wouldn't choose that for my kid.

That said, it's a lovely name and a good choice.  But a name that starts with "Math-" will be pronounced "Math-" 99.9% of the time.  [/quote]

Matthew isn't phonetic either. When my kids were little and learning to read, they would pronounce it Matt-hew.[/quote]
