A French version of Sam? Or is it used in France?

A silly question maybe. My other two children have French names. Sam is a name that means something to my family. But it almost feels like it won't "go" as Samuel.

Or is Samuel / Sam used in France? Or is there another Sam full name alternative? (If that makes sense.)

(My mother was French, so there's at least some connection!)

My other two are Ines and Elodie.

Or another suggestion of a boy's name that goes with Ines or Elodie would be welcome! Although I'd love to explore the Sam route if I can. Ines, Elodie and Sam doesn't sound quite right... right? But it would mean a lot to use it, so I'm confused.
