I actually prefer this spelling to Matthew! The "TTH" part always bothered me, I'm not sure why. I guess it's because the "TH" looks more phonetic, as if you don't have to pronounce the T twice. And you can still nickname him Matt, Matty, or Math.
To T or not to T that is the question! I am a Mathew and for whatever reason from a young age have written Matt. The name Matthew/Mathew is common enough. I am happy to have the single T version!

Nice quiet name... amazingly I have only known one. Doesnt matter how it's spelled, but Matt looks better to me, and actually Mat is a small rug.

I like the name Mathew. I think it's amazing because I got the name out of the Bible. Yes, in the Bible it has two t's, but I like how you can spell it with just one t. My youngest son's name is Mathew Michael Leon, but we don't call him Matt or anything like that, we call him Leo.
I hate this spelling and I don't understand why ANYONE who isn't a complete imbecile would butcher the name Matthew like this, I mean, you wouldn't name your son Jefrey rather than Jeffrey, or Rusell rather than Russell, Would you?Also, Mat is an object, Matt is a name.
I never thought "Matthew" could be spelt as "Mathew" before I saw a student at my school publish his name this way in an article he wrote for the school newspaper. I actually prefer this to "Matthew".
