Mom to 2 beautiful girls, 3 yrs and 22 months old. My 2nd was born at 32 weeks due to Rhogam failure/severe complications from Rh disease and is our miracle. She has bilateral auditory neuropathy and a cochlear implant, activated 4/5/2012 at 19 months.
My friend's daughter is Matteson. Sounds like Madison when you say it. She wasn't trying to be youneek with the spelling, it is her mom's maiden name. But anyway - obviously shortens easily to Mattie.
Re: Full Names for Mattie?
I've seen it spelled Matteson, after a family surname, but I think it was for a boy...
My great-grandmother was Mattie, no longer name, just Mattie. If Maddie wasn't so popular, I would consider it, too.
Maybe Mattea?

I'll run Mattea by DH.
I agree that Matteson and Matelyn look like youneek names. Bummer because I'm not moving any of my options. Why is this so hard? :-P
