I was going to say Matthew is one of one of Josh's brother's middle names and that's why they haven't used it (Michael is too, but it's also Anna's father's name). Buuuut Garrett is one of the boy's middle names too, so... I guess they just like names that are more 'unique' to their community. They probably know tons of Matthews.

Samuel's BA was never announced here, probably because it was uninteresting. Samuel Scott.

Edit: oooh hey I guessed Mason http://www.behindthename.com/bb/baby/4801723

Garrett is the name of Michelle's brother

And he's Garrett Ruark Jr so I'm assuming it's also her father's name and therefore Josh's grandfather's name :)

Good to know. I didn't think to check the extended family. They're ok with repeating names if they're family names, but no proof on if they will repeat sibling names that aren't already honoring. So maybe they'll get to Matthew if they run out. There's not that many more popular M names that aren't really similar to names they've already used.

If they have another, I'm thinking Max (a bit much with the other M-k sounding names but that never stops them) or Miles/Milo before they use Matthew.
