the name Matt?

JuliaGuest ·
We're looking for a short, tough, and not too common boy's name.
We like Stan and Mats, but they're too common.
We think Matt is a tough name. (Pronounced as it's written, so in Dutch style)

What do you all think about this? And does it fit with our last name: de Beer?

    It fits well with the last name, but it's not my taste.

    Actually quite nice... It definitely fits with Beer. It's just not my style.
    Suggestions:
    Seger
    Koen
    Sven
    Aron
    Ivan
    Willem
    Niek
    Matthias

    Matt or math?

    Not my favorite, but I can see it... Matt Beer.
    And indeed... Stan is popping up a lot here lately! It's nice that you're going for a slightly more unique name!

    Good luck

    I think it's a pretty nice name! It also works well with the bear.

    Such names aren't really my style, but I actually quite like Matt!

    I think it looks pretty cool, but I guess there’s always going to be confusion about how to pronounce it. I immediately read it as an English name.

    Super cute name, my son is also named Matt! I thought people would understand that it should be pronounced in the Dutch way, but I’ve never experienced it being said in the English way. Go for it, Matt de Beer, tough guy, right?!
