Apart from Samuel, what other "Sam" (boys) names are there?

I like the name Sam. My DH isn't in love with it, but doesn't mind it. But he doesn't adore Samuel. I dont want Sam on its own as its too much of a nickname.

I can't really think of any other "Sam" names (well, apart from Samson!).

I suppose Samwise is a bit too Lord of the Rings and not a real name but it's the only other one I can think of.

Simon Andrew Matthew for example? Initials that spell a word are always fun!

Samwell. A minor enough GoT character to get away with?

Samwell. Perhaps too Game of Thrones...

Isambard (although DH wasn't having any of it, our Sam is a Samuel)
Bassam (Muslim name)

Not Samwell! It's the name of a guy who made a YouTube song that goes "I said what, what - in the butt". Google it if you don't believe me!

I see i totally misunderstood. I thought you meant short snappy classic one syllable names. Blush

Or you could use a name ending in -sam (can't think of any!)

Or give him names with initials that spell Sam.

Or just call him Sam.

Personally I'd just call him Sam.

But I have a Ben, not short for Benjamin.
