William or Samuel

Lots of the boys names we liked are out (Henry, Oliver, Elliot...) so our front runners are now William and Samuel.

I keep veering between the two. Which is nicest?

Thanks

They're both lovely, but I'd choose Samuel. Smile

Interesting - a lot more Samuel leaning than I expected. Any more for any more?

William is on our list, but we really like Samuel (but can't use it).

William.

I like Sam very much, but I'm not so keen on Samuel for some reason.
