I voted for Matthew Scott easily. I love the name despite its popularity, and the combo is great. The mn's, Hunter and Aiden, for the other 2 combos are too trendy (and Aiden is misspelled- it is Aidan with a -an ending). Nicholas is my preferred spelling as well.

If Matthew's popularity won't bother you, it is a great name.

As a pp said, all are rather popular, but I would actually like the combo Christopher Aidan if it were spelled correctly. I don't find Aidan nearly as trendy in the mn spot, FWIW. It's a great name ... all the rhyming variants and predictable misspellings have just caused it to lose its appeal as a fn.

My vote went easily to Nicolas Hunter. Please tell me you're going to call him Nico!

I also like Nicolas Scott and Nicolas Aidan. But, if you go with Aidan, please spell it correctly (Aidan, not Aiden).

I prefer Nicholas Hunter, because there were at least 3 Matts or Chrises in every class when I was growing up, so they've completely lost any appeal for me.

Nick is a much stronger nickname, too, I think. Along with all the male Chrises, many female names are shortened to Chris, so there's even more chance of being one of many. And Matt just makes me think "doormat". Hunter also seems like a stronger middle name to me, more distinctive.
