I love Eric (Erik is my brother's name), but Madeira admittedly just makes me think of wine...

I agree with the PP that Madeira just makes me think wine. Another poster recently mentioned a name from her family - Meara (meer-ah). That might be a nice alternative.

I love Eric. That's always been a favorite.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

Madeira actually means "wood" in Portuguese, so that's what comes to mind when I hear that name. Just some insight... may not matter to you!

I think Madeira is pretty. I didn't know of the wine or the wood, so I have no connection like that to the name. I like Evan better than eric. I have also seen the name (Meera) spelled Mira. Good Luck!

Evan Mathew and Eric Christopher are fine names, in my opinion. (I can't get into the Kristopher spelling -- some C names look fine with a K, but this one looks off to me.) I mean, neither name has a wow factor (to me), but that can be a good thing. With Madeira, regardless of its dictionary meaning, lots of people are going to think "wine" immediately because it is so widely known in terms of Madeira wine. That doesn't mean you shouldn't use it; it's just something to consider.
