I love the name Samuel but is it a bit of a safe option? His surname is Spinola so I thought the name Samuel Spinola was quite a cool combo...thoughts?

I love the name but it really is by far and away the most popular name I've come across in classes and DC's peer various groups. If you don't mind that then go for it.

I love it! And my little Samuel was born on Saturday with his identical twin brother Joshua!

I love it. However, there are FOUR in DS1's class. But if you don't know any this doesn't matter!

I love Samuel, it's not safe at all!

I have a Samuel so probably slightly biased. He is five and the only Samuel in his year at school.

The only thing that grates on me is if people call him Sammy. I get the rage!

Wow the surname is fabulous! I prefer Samson to Samuel but it doesn't go nearly so well with Spinola :-)

I find it very cute and perfectly matched, i don't even understand what you mean by 'safe'...

I love the name 'Samuel', that was our boys name for this one before finding out she's a girl. It is a tiny bit plain, but I think that's good with an unusual surname (ours is long and double barrelled and I have to spell it out all the time!)

It is safe, but it's a nice name.
