Name that fits?!?!

Matthew

Help!!! I can't find a name that just fits, well maybe.
I am quite fond of Matthew, but I'd say I'm about 70% sure that I'd be happy with it every day.
As far as first names I couldn't think of much, I only managed to write Matthew, Christian and Nathaniel. I think Matthew might fit best out of all of those, but maybe it's because it's closest to my birth name.
As far as middle names I was thinking of my idols, and I like a lot, but it depends if it'd sound right with my first name as to whether I'd choose that. I like David, Marshall, Jonathan, Jeremy, Vincent (maybe) and Darrel. I don't know  :-\
I'm not super masculine, so I don't think those would fit, but then nothing too feminine.

What name do you think would fit how I look? I'm so stuck :(

Matthew sounds good- As you get closer to going by it you'll start to doubt it, it's probably anxiety. And going by a name close to your birth name is a good idea, people will adjust to it easier, especially your familly. I chose Keith (vs. Annalise, not really any options there) and my mom is questioning it because it's quite a change.  If you like the name innitially, and it sticks for a while, you'll probably be good going by it. Many people go by a name they don't choose their whole lives and still stick with it. And Matthew seems to fit well  :)

Matthew and its shortened version Matt seems good. It seems to fit.

Matthew is a good name and it seems to suit you.

Although if you intend on growing a Salvador Dali beard an mo, and wearing a monocle (as in your avatar), then Algernon would be a better fit! ;)

I think Matthew fits you well just going by visual. It is always good having a name can be shortened. Matthew/Matt is great. Don't stress about it dude.

Have you thought about asking your parents if they thought of any Male names while your mum was preggers? It's a good way to remind them that you still want their thoughts on stuff.

p.s. Matt suits you, although I could easily see you as a Nick too!

I shall use my time." Jack London

I think the only people who called me Matthew reliably were my mom and my flight instructor. Everyone else called me Matt when Matthew was my day to day name.

When I claimed Paige as my name it felt like mine! Mine mine mine mine mine! :) Though in the beginning I could see me saying I was 70% confident in my selection too. So, it could work out for ya!

Good luck!

Woop for an update :) I'm 99% decided on Matthew Vincent <surname>. I did asks my parents what I would've been called if I was born male but I don't thin Bernard would really suit me :P thanks for all the help ^-^

Well, I know about 4 Matt's so Matt seems too common to me but if you like it, I'd go for it :)
Lyrics for a song I wrote

This ain't a scam
It's who I am
I am a man inside
This ain't a dream
Stop being mean
And just accept it.
I am ready to shine!
Ready to fight for that dream of mine
I am a man inside
