Talk:Matthew (name)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should not 'Dave Matthews' be included? This very article's copy reads, "Matthew can also be a last name, where an "s" is generally added to the end (Matthews)." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.59.75.179 (talk • contribs) 23:41, 20 August 2005.

But the list is made up solely of "Matthew"s, so the one example of a "Matthews" is out of place (and impossible properly to alphabetise). The thing to do is add it to the Matthews disambiguation page. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:15, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Is "Matthew, The Cumbrian Guy That Has Nothing Better To Do Than Fuck With The System", listed as an alternative spelling, a joke which should be deleted?

Yes; I'm amazed that it went unnoticed.

Incidentally, links shouldn't be embedded in headings (by the MoS). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 18:25, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Check your sources

"Moshe" is Hebrew for Moses, not Matthew. The latter in Hebrew is Mattai, spelled mem-tav-yod. Moshe comes from the Hebrew verb "mashah," which means "to draw out [of water]," as Moses was so named because he was drawn out of the Nile.

[edit] a Matthew will soon rule the world?

sick! Needs citation though.
