    I love it but would leave the spelling as it is. Mattea looks to me like it should sound Matt--ee--ah

    I love it, very pretty . I love the boys version which is Matteo. I would definitely spell it differently to Matthea though, people with almost certainly pronounce it MA THEE YAH so i would take the "H" MAHTEYAH, MATAYAH, MARTAYAH, MATTEAH, MATAYA, MAHTAYA and so on

    i love the way it sounds but reading it i'd say Math-ee-ah but that may be just me i'm terrible at pronunciation

    I love it, it's different without being too out there. Personally I would leave the spelling exactly as is, as it's more traditional, but that's just me. I don't really go for spelling variations of any kind. I don't think pronunciation would be a problem, and Thea is gorgeous.

    I do prefer the spelling Matayah though, but that is just me.

    Thanks for the feedback ladies. I think I'll keep suggesting it to DH, and see if he'll warm up to it. I really like it!
