I quite like both names but neither sounds good with our last name. Sounds like Lou. I like Matthew just a tidge more.
I have a nephew named Andrew, so that’s out and Matthew’s in. Only problem is that I also have a good friend named Matthew (and two distant cousins.)
Can I pick Bartholomew instead? ;)
My last name starts with a W so neither were ever in the running, but they’re both ok.
Matthew for me. I’ve always loved it, with the nicknames Matty and Matz [my great-grandmother’s maiden name]. I have a nephew named Dru, so I couldn’t use Andrew anyway.
Andrew. The plain ‘oo’ ending sounds nice, but the ‘yoo’ ending in Matthew is a little icky.
Andrew, I like the nickname Drew.
I like both but rather Andrew.
Andrew.
Andy and Drew are both better nicknames than Matt… :)
I vote for Andrew, but expect Matthew to win! Matthew is the name of my nephew (age 23); I think about every extended family has a Matthew — there are so many of them!
Andrew is my 7-year-old twin grandson, the middle name of one of my sons, and the middle name of his first son. I love the name Andrew, Drew is okay, but no Andy here.
I like both Andrew and Matthew and almost used Matthew as the middle name for our 4th son. But Andrew has a Scots connection as the name of the patron saint of Scotland (I have some Scottish ancestry), so all in all, I prefer Andrew to Matthew.
Bartholomew was an observant suggestion; I hadn’t thought of that name pairing with these much better end-in-‘ew’ New Testament names.
I’d go for Matthew. I’d prefer a little Matty to a little Andy. Mainly because I associate Andy with randy… and I certainly wouldn’t want a randy Andy!
Andrew, but only because I have an ex-boyfriend named Matthew.
I named my youngest son Matthew, Andrew wasn’t even in the running.
