[name]Hi[/name], what do you think of [name]Mathis[/name] (mat-ee-s (like the painter [name]Matisse[/name])). I know such a cute French boy called [name]Mathis[/name]. [name]Mathis[/name] is also the name of a character in my book, short for Mathius, but pronounced math-ee-s
I love it, but wouldn’t use it because of my book.
What do you think?

In an English speaking country, I think it will be mispronounced [name]MATH[/name]-is, like the surname, all the time. I prefer [name]Mattias[/name]/[name]Matthias[/name] (which can be Ma-TEE-us or Ma-THY-us) or [name]Matteo[/name].
I agree. The first thing I thought of when I saw this was the character [name]Mathis[/name] (pronounced math-iss) from Casino [name]Royale[/name]/Quantum of Solace. I can definitely see it being a cute name for a little French boy, though.
