XP: names Nathan and Evan?

I posted on the name boards but wanted an opinion here as well.  DS1 is named Evan Christopher and I love the name.  We are having a harder time with the second one.  I like Andrew, DH doesn't.  He likes Ryan, I don't.  We were thinking about Nathan James but don't know if that's too similar sounding to Evan since they both end in an "an" and I don't want them to be too "matchy."  I feel like finding a second name for the same gender is really hard, you already gave your first choice to the first one and then the second gets the leftovers or a name that you like, but not quite as much.

  • Evan and Gavin would sound matchy. Evan and Nathan don't sound matchy to me.

  • not matchy!


  • Nathan is a favorite of mine (I also like Nathaniel), and I don't think it's too matchy with Evan.

  • I agree with pp, I don't think it's too matchy. Nathan James is on my list too! DS was almost named Nathan, but we switched at the last moment.

  • Is he likely to end up a Nate? Because that getsrid of matching sound anyway.

  • I don't think it's matchy. Now if you went with Evan and Everett that might be a different story ;)
