It's been my favorite name since I was about 5. The first time I heard it was in
German and it wasn't until about 6 years ago that I heard it in English (which is weird considering I'm American..) and I hated the English pronunciation. I've gotten used to it now but I'm keeping it as a middle name since I don't like the look of
Mattias as much or the nickname
Matt.
Matthias Rowan is handsome.
I definitely prefer
Matthias over
Matteo
