Now with Twice the “Mattic†– Matt Thomas joins Automattic full-time. We’re still figuring out what to call him, since “Matt” is obviously taken.

Automattic is going strong in blogging matters. Doublematt will make it stronger. You should have named Wordpress as Wordmatt or Mattpress

In Spain we usually say: “Matu”

How about Mattwo, Mattou or Mattu!

Well, having a common name is definitely a problem. As a “Chris”, I would know… In my case, if there is more than one Chris in an office, one invariable gets called Chris, while the other gets called Christopher (or something). Might go with Matt and Matthew, Big Matt & Little Matt, New Matt & Old Matt… umm, WelcomeMatt and Mattress… I dunno…

I used to work for a place that had a similar problem with Mikes and Marcs. When we got our second Mike, we (arbitrarily) decided to start calling him Joe, and by the time we got our third Marc, we started simply indexing them — he was known as “three”.

What do you call a boy with no arms and no legs in front of a door?
Matt.
Which means, you can call him “Stumpy”

Isn’t it obvious? He should be Matt2 (or MattToo, if you’d rather)
Thomas Tallyce | November 22nd, 2006 @ 10:21 am |
MT?
Or is that too ironic?

you´re getting the best team around
What will he design?
Adam | November 22nd, 2006 @ 5:31 pm |
I think ‘Thommo’ is the obvious choice.
Jules | November 22nd, 2006 @ 6:45 pm |
Here’s an idea. Combine what Diego suggested, Matu with the fact that Matt is the second and you get Matt2.
Felixe | November 22nd, 2006 @ 7:01 pm |
I think MattM and MattT would do the trick.
AM Putra | November 22nd, 2006 @ 7:36 pm |
Just call him O-Thom-Matt
Rico | November 22nd, 2006 @ 10:16 pm |
How about “Mat,” with one “T”?
Dan | November 23rd, 2006 @ 2:15 am |
TOMattic of course.
Aaron Brazell | November 23rd, 2006 @ 8:33 am |
Thomas definitely gets the vote for the best suggestion.
