[Opinions] Matthew Michael
A friend of mine has just had a baby boy and named him Matthew Michael as a first name and middle name not a double barrelled first name.I like though don’t love both names individually but am not feeling them together as a combo. WDYT?

Matthew seems more dated than Michael where I live; perhaps Michael has had a long enough break and can now be used again? I like it, but I really dislike Matthew, regardless of popularity.

I wouldn't use them for twins, let alone in a name combo. Both names are fine (Really can't go wrong with them, although I do prefer Matthew more) but they just don't work together. It seems more like the parents couldn't decide between either name, and just decided to use both.

2 boring overused names in a weird combo.

It’s not horrible but the sound could definitely be better. Very boring but I never seen him paired together before so that’s nice.

Congratulations to your friend. :)Don't care for the combo, though I quite like both names individually. On the whole, I'm not a fan of alliterative names. I did once know someone named Matthew Mark, and I do prefer Matthew Michael to that, but would rather see both names used elsewhere.

I don’t like the alliteration, personally. I like them both separately, or as a sibset for twin boys. Of them both, I prefer Matthew.
