our son is Peter Joseph and for the new baby I like Simon (as in st simon stock) Elijah
but the Mrs is concerned that having both a simon and a Peter is (in her words) too "matchy-matchy"
Is there such a thing

Yeah, I think it's a real thing. I wasn't familiar with the term "matchy-matchy" but when you hear Simon and then Peter, the two names do match for obvious reasons. But I don't see anything wrong with that. If those are the names you like, why does it matter if they are matchy?

I knew a family who had sons Peter, James and John.
And in my family we had Peter, Paul and Philip. All Apostles with P names...
Yes, people might get teased about it, but the final decision is up to you and your wife. :-)

When referencing children, usually parents say the oldest first and then proceed down the line so you would say "Peter and Simon" which doesn't sound bad at all. BUT, if you were to reference them and say "Simon and Peter" I think it does sound a little odd. But if you really like it I think it will be fine.

Whatever names you choose...practice saying them loudly and in a sentence:
"THOMAS JOSEPH! Get down here and take out the trash!"
