[quote=Anonymous][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]

I agree. Mattias.  Still honors grandad but it's an improvement.

And get his birth certificate, OP...the granddad. Just to make sure.  My grandfather spelled my mom's name incorrectly on hers.  My grandma named my mother Adeline, and sent my grandpa to town to fill out the paperwork.  He wrote down, "Addaline," as in, "add a line" which is what he thought my grandma said![/quote]
