top importance assigned due to being the most popular male given name in Northern Ireland for at least 2000 and 2002. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

I do not think there is a good rationale for separating Matthew (name) and Matthew (given name). The given name list need not be exhaustive, but rather representative, supportive of a view of the breadth over geography and time of the use of the name. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
