Mateo

I like it, as a southern European name. It's "clean", simple, and handsome. But it's become very popular even in Scandinavia now, and I just personally think it really sticks out awkwardly when Norwegians name their kid "Mateo". It's like a Spanish family naming their son "Thorbjorn" or daughter "Sigrid". Not that you can't use names from other cultures, but consider how it sounds in your local name culture.

I'm really surprised by these comments. I think Mateo is a nice name with an irresistible Spanish charm. It is strong, handsome, and it ages well. I think “Matt” and “Teo” would be cute nicknames. Overall, I think Mateo is a lovely name.

I had this name in 2009 before it got popular, i am an elder Mateo name bearer! :D

Actually I’m surprised to say that I like this name.

In Spanish it sounds nice, but it looks really tacky on a non-Spanish-speaker. It's also getting way too trendy at this point.

I love this name! I named one of my characters this. Outside of my own character, the name reminds me of summer? It's a warm name, at least to me. I think it's a solid choice, and it has some cute nicknames.

No offense but Mateo is actually an old man's name.

Robert, Paul, and George is what sounds like an old man, Mateo just sounds very cute and youthful. This person is definitely jealous of this name.

No offense to people named Mateo, but Matteo, Matthew, and Matthias are more handsome.

I like this name, it's cute and handsome. It makes me think of sweet potato...NO OFFENSE THOUGH, I STILL LIKE IT.

I love this name! I'm thinking of adding it as a middle name when I change my name in a year or two, I just really love the way it sounds.

Unattractive.

It sounds like Potato.

I love it. Prefer it to boring Matthew.

Sounds strange. Little bit dry. I don't know what to say about this name, but I just don't like it, even if it's not bad, still, something feels missing.

I don't like it. Mateo is such a weird name; I can't believe it's number 25 on the US popularity chart.

Cool name, but I prefer the original Matthew.

Didn't know this was the Spanish form of Matthew.
