I have an ancestor named [name]Matthew[/name] [name]Porter[/name], so I have to go with that as a sentimental choice (plus [name]Erik[/name] just does not float my boat at all). Best wishes!

[name]Matthew[/name] [name]Porter[/name] because [name]Erik[/name] is way too close to [name]Evan[/name] to me.

[name]Matthew[/name] [name]Porter[/name] sounds best to me.

Are you planning more children? If you use [name]Erik[/name] you’ll have an E trend to follow. [name]Erik[/name] and [name]Evan[/name] are pretty close…4 letters, 2 syllables, the E. just keep that in mind

[name]Matthew[/name] [name]Porter[/name]. I really do not like [name]Erik[/name] and it is too close to [name]Evan[/name]

[name]Matthew[/name] [name]Porter[/name]!

I love [name]Matthew[/name] [name]Porter[/name]! So handsome.

I prefer [name]Erik[/name]. I really dislike [name]Matthew[/name].

[name]Matthew[/name] [name]Porter[/name]!

[name]Matthew[/name] [name]Porter[/name] for me, as well! I adore [name]Matthew[/name], and [name]Evan[/name] and [name]Matthew[/name] are lovely. While [name]Erik[/name]'s a nice name, I remember seeing in some show or movie (Leverage?), some character said, “[name]Eric[/name] with a “C”? He’s a nice guy. [name]Erik[/name] with a “K”? BAD guy. Never trust an [name]Erik[/name] with a “K”!” I can’t get past that, lol. Plus, [name]Erik[/name] feels dated to me, and [name]Evan[/name] and [name]Erik[/name] do seem quite mismatched, and yet matchy, all at once.

I think [name]Evan[/name] and [name]Matthew[/name] are lovely, though.

[name]Matthew[/name] [name]Porter[/name] gets my vote!

MaScha2 · February 23, 2013, 5:30pm

[name]Matthew[/name] [name]Porter[/name] for sure!

I like the name [name]Erik[/name], but agree that with brother [name]Evan[/name] then [name]Matthew[/name] is the better choice.
I am imagining a teen called [name]Matt[/name] and a toddler [name]Matty[/name]. Classic manly choice.

Another vote for [name]Matthew[/name] [name]Porter[/name]. [name]Both[/name] are nice but [name]Matthew[/name] has always been one of my favorite names. Congratulations!
