Currently my favourite for this baby but it has been in top 20 for many, many years, though I have noticed it has dropped in popularity in recent years and is now down to number 21. Not sure if popularity bothers me yet..

This is my first so am not in the baby / pre school / child circles yet. So, how many do you know?!

Cheers!

dozens, I think. Of all ages.

4 under 1 year old
3 toddlers
about 3-4 per year group of 40-50 in school
A few teenagers and adults.

Must be popular for a reason though! I don't love it but it's a nice, solid name. I prefer Samuel to Sam.

I would ignore the popularity if you love it.

I don't know any little Sams.

They must be out there somewhere though if it's top 20ish.
