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!).

Honestly just call him Sam! I am a "need a full name" person but I think Sam is a full name on its own. I don't think of it as a nickname.

Sorry nothing to add but just sprayed DD with coffee out of my nose reading Sambert. I love it. Grin

Personally I'd just call him Sam.

But I have a Ben, not short for Benjamin.

Sampson
Sameer
Samford
Samworth
Samhill
Samathon
Samward
Samion
Sambert

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.

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!

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