Nicknames for Mathias other than Matt/Matti

[name]Hi[/name] All,

We are still trying to figure out which boy name we like most. [name]One[/name] thing holding me back from a family name -[name]Mathias[/name]- is lack of nicknames, besides the obvious [name]Matt[/name]. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

What about [name]Ty[/name]? Thai? That would work imo.

[name]Math[/name]?
I can see [name]Max[/name] with an X in the middle name - [name]Mathias[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] or [name]Mathias[/name] [name]Alexander[/name].

I like Thias, although [name]Mathias[/name] is short enough that it goes well on its own.

Thias would work.

I know a [name]Mathias[/name] who simply goes by “T”… he’s adorable!!

[name]Massey[/name].
It’s a medieval nickname for [name]Matthew[/name], but I think it works wonders for [name]Mathias[/name] as well.
I never liked [name]Matthew[/name] until I discovered [name]Massey[/name].
[name]Massey[/name] is awesome ^^

There was a show called Life Unexpected which had a character named [name]Math[/name]. It worked and I like it.

a common nn for [name]Matthias[/name] is Germany is Matze. (Mah-T-zeh).

Thai! I like that as an idea.

I like Thias and [name]Massey[/name] and [name]Math[/name] too! Middle name would be [name]David[/name] after hubby’s dad otherwise [name]Max[/name] would be a cute option.

Lexiem, does Matze sound like [name]Matt[/name]-zee or Mot-see. Sorry I can’t figure it out :wink:

We’d pronounce the name with the th sound instead of a hard t sound so T wouldn’t work as well for us.

Thanks so much everyone. [name]Mathias[/name] stays on the list :slight_smile:

I’m glad it’s staying on your list! It’s a great name! [name]One[/name] thought, I might spell it [name]Matthias[/name]. I just like the look of it better. [name]Just[/name] personal preference though! :slight_smile:

Thanks [name]Sunshine[/name]! My grandpa’s grandfather was [name]Mathias[/name], spelled that way, and the one who came over from Germany years ago. I do like double Ts but it lends itself to [name]Matt[/name] easier that way…and I like to keep with how he spelled it :wink:

Matze probably sounds more like Mah-tze. (Think sort of like Matzah balls, but not. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. Or still am not I’m not really great with spelling out sounds, esp in a different language.)
