What do you think of this girl's name?

[Cricket]

I really like the name Matthea. (mah-TEY-ah)
I think it's unique without being too weird, fits well with our other girls, and has a nice meaning - Gift of God, (feminine form of Matthew).
DH isn't liking it. I'm hoping that he'll come around....

I like it How do you feel about the nickname Matty? If I used the name I'd try to encourage tay-ah as the nickname.

[Charlotte91]

I love it!
You could always just use Tay as a nickname.

It's really nice!!

[Amity]

I like it without the H - Mattea.

I like the name it was on my girls list of names, but dh wasn't sold on it, anyway it's a boy so o more discussion on it but I was spelling it mataya, I like taya for short.

[Cricket]

Yes, the nickname would definitely have to be Thea/Taya. Not Matty. Sorry to any Matty's out there!

I'm another one who likes the sound but not the traditional spelling. First read it as Ma-thee-a. Not sure which alternative spelling I'd go with though.

Yep i like the name but not the spelling too I would spell it Matayah if it was me.
