I'm 32 weeks with baby number 1, we don't know gender but have finally settled on a girl's name. For a boy we are torn between these two, which would you pick and why?

I'd have to say Samuel....but then I am slightly biased Grin

Samuel cos I don't like James Grin
Depends on surname / initials, also if you like "Sam" or "J" as they will get shortened. (The James that I know is often called Jim-Jam)
