Ok not even preggers but I love the name Sam, we have a DD and want a 2nd LO so if it is a boy will be Samual. But if it is a girl would love to still have Sam but not keen on Samantha (too many memories of girls I did not like a school called Samantha).

So interested if anyone can think if a Sam name for a girl not Samantha.

Hope that makes sense!

There's an actress in 'Corrie' called Samia, I think.
