Looking for a name for our second child

We have the middle name figured out, just looking for a first name to complement it! Our first's name is Christopher Scott. The second will be ? Matthew. Let me know if you have any ideas, I'd also like it to be a two syllable name

How many syllables is the surname and is it anything wacky? That's more important than a middle name noone knows.

Christopher Scott & Simon Matthew

Christopher Scott & Peter Matthew

Christopher Scott & Edward Matthew

Christopher Scott & Daniel Matthew

Christopher Scott & Joseph Matthew

Christopher Scott & Henry Matthew

Christopher Scott & Robert Matthew

Christopher Scott & Thomas Matthew

Christopher Scott & Noah Matthew

I know you said you want two syllables but I think Christopher & Jonathan go well together

Seems like you like traditional names? I think most first names will sound good before Matthew. Here's some suggestions that seem to fit your style:

Richard
Andrew
Stephen
Toby
Robert
Patrick
David
Eric

Why not Matthew as a first name?

sukieinthegraveyard · 14/06/2026 21:25

How about Tristan? I think this goes well with Christopher

ThatMintMember · 14/06/2026 21:43

Benjamin Matthew was my first thought until you said 2 syllables. Would go lovely with Christopher Scott.

I came here to suggest Matthew! Why not as a first name? Or Michael?
