If you are 100% sure about dimensions let your numeric matrix be without 
row names and put names into separate character vector, which can be used 
together with matrix. But you must check consistency yourself.

Or use data frame where all columns except column with names can be 
numeric and you can easily extract numeric columns and transfer them to 
matrix.
