Do you like the name Matte? Like Matt, but not a nickname for Matthew?

Answer 1

I Love it!!!!!! Like Matte Babel, that muchmusic VJ! I don't know if his name is a nickname or not, but w.e!

Answer 2

Not much. Matte sounds like your pronounce it Mah-Tay for some reason and using a name so often used as a nickname is a bit odd. Use Matthew for now so you still have the option of calling him Matte but he can keep Matthew later on in life.

Can you imagine a 87-year-old named Matte? I don't know... it's just that a lot of young children are nicknamed Matt so I can't imagine that.

Answer 9

Only name your kid Matte if you're going to name your other kids "Gloss", "Cream," and "Lacquer."

Otherwise, just go with:

Matthew
Matthias, or
Mateus

and don't bother naming your children after painters' or makeup artists' terms.
