I like my name even though it's very common, Matthew. I told my parents this and they said they named me Matthew because it's biblical (Matthew one of the followers of Christ and such.) I dunno, I like it. I use to just go by Matt but I like to be called Matthew now, it sounds alot better to me now then when I was much younger. However I dislike my middle name and it is Phillip...It just doesn't sit well with me and I feel it doesn't click with my name or last name. Matthew Phillip Shaw...my middle name just feels like it sticks out like a sore thumb.
And if your from the south (like me) my last name can be a play on the word for "sure"
"That shaw is a great tune Bubba J"
"It shaw is Jimmy Jack, it shaw is."
