Ma-tay-us vs. Spelling
Hey what spelling would get me the pronounciation ma-tay-us? My husband suggested Mateos (since Mateo is ma-tay-o) but this seems weird to me, any thoughts on Mateos, how would you say Mateos if you saw it wrote? Thank you!

If you look up Matthew at behindthename .com you'll see a ton of variants. The Norwegian form is spelled Matteus. When you click on Matteus the listed pronunciation looks pretty close ("maht-TEH-uys").
Mateus is listed as the Portuguese form, but not pronunciation guide. I'm guessing it's also similar to what you are looking for. There may be more options. Those were just the ones that looked the easiest.
If you're really interested in a variant but it doesn't have a listed pronunciation you can always google "how do you say ______." There will be sites like Forvo that offer submissions from all around the world. Good luck! :0)

Maybe Mateus. That looks like "ma-tay-us" Mateos to me looks like "ma-tay-ohs"
On a girl, I've seen it spelt Mattea. So maybe even Mateas?
Overall I think Mateus or Matteus would be nice.

I would spell it Matteus or Mateus, since I would pronounce both of these as mah-tay-us. I would pronounce Mateos mah-tay-ohs.

I agree with those above with Mateus or Matteus.
Another variation could be Mateas instead of Mateos.
