Name

Hej på er, 

Sorry I'm switching to english as it will be easier for me to ask this way... 

I'm clearly not swedish but my husband is. We are unsure about the connotations of the name we are considering for our baby boy who is due soon so I was hoping to get some advice from you. We live in the UK but will soon move to Sweden to be closer to his family, so it's important the name works well there and since my husband hasn't lived there for almost 10 years we are a bit unsure.

We like the name Mateo. His name then would be Mateo Eriksson. Does it sound like an odd combination? I'm worried it may sound like a foreigner/immigrant or even worse low educated immigrant name, especially given the odd combination of first and last name. I have nothing against immigrants and I'll be one myself, but I know people rely on stereotypes and that could impact his life -e.g. I know there's studies showing that some people even make job hiring decisions based on names alone, even before meeting the candidate- so I want to make a good choice for my baby!

Thanks so much in advance, 

Jo
