It's fine since it's her husband's dead brother's name and they were very close.

It's fine, no one will think anything of it since that was his brother's name.

It's fine. There will be no confusion since one of them will go by Matt and the other Matthew

It's fine as long as everyone affected is okay with it

It's weird even for a fictional story
It's wrong. There shouldn't be two such close relatives with the same name
It's bad. Those who don't know about husband's brother will think he's named after brother in law.
It'd make me mad if I were the brother in law
It's every parents' right to choose whatever name they want and no one else's right to judge
