[R] binding vectors or matrix using their names

Hello list,
I have two vectors x and x2:

x=runif(10)
x2=runif(10)

and one vectors with their names :

my.names=c("x","x2")

I would like to cbind these two vectors using their names contained in the 
vector my.names.
I can create a string with comma
ncomma=paste(my.names,collapse=",")

and now, I just need a function to transform this string into a adequate 
argument for cbind:

cbind(afunction(ncomma))

Is there in R a function that can do the job ? If not, how can I do it ??

Thanks in advance,
Sincerely.
