Want Sam for a girl, is it short for anything apart from Samantha?

Pregnant with DC4, gave away all my baby name books as we were stopping at 3 but... I love Sam for a girl or boy but don't like Samantha, can it be short for anything else? If I have a boy it would be Sam short for Samuel but cannot think of girls names that get shortened to Sam except Samantha.
Any suggestions?

Sammy or Sammi. Personally I love the name Samantha. My DD's name.

One thing about Samara - it's the name of the scary kid in 'The Ring'
