At least in an English-speaking context, I'd assume too Matt is Matthew and so forth. I'm aware that in some cultures, English nicknames have been "borrowed" as full names. I think this is what CN was referring to.
I once met a Dutch guy named Tommy and it's true it sounds a bit silly to me as a full name. But he was a total jerk, which doesn't help.

•That's the thing: None of us have options. If it were left up to you, would you have chosen Lindsey for yourself? nt · Schezar · 5/28/2009, 1:38 PM
