sorry, about my fourth thread on here as we have been going round in circles. previous contenders for ds2 (sams brother) have been robert and nathaniel. matthew has come out of the woodwork suddenly as a name we could grow to love, we think, feeling perhaps similarly to how we felt about samuel.

thoughts?

I love Matthew. A good strong name.

love Matthew, DC1's middle name. Also love Robert- 3 children and 3 years of childminding never met a wee Robert. We were considering if DC3 was a boy -- love nickname Robbie.

I like it, but he will likely become Matt whether you like it or not so do consider that.

Really lovely. Do you like Matt?

I love it, a cool teen name, but goes well at every age.

Agree with drama

It's a lovely name which goes well with Samuel. Sam & Matt are nice together for two brothers.

I like the name Matthew a lot. It's a great name in its own right and it also goes well with Sam. I think its a very strong name. I also like the name Nathaniel a lot... Sorry that's not very helpful is it?! I just thought I'd say that as its another one of your contenders.

I like it a lot.

All the names mentioned have a similar feel. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them but yes, I do particularly like Matthew.

Love Matthew, I don't think you could go wrong with it. I have a friend who named her first son Matthew.
