Samuel or Thomas?

Hello. Me and DH are really torn between these two names for upcoming DS, we like them both equally. I (personally) maybe like Samuel more as I really like his Biblical story, he is a very wise leader which makes me picture a Samuel in real life as somewhat of an inspirational figure. However, we would still like some insight from people here. Which name do you prefer? Thanks Smile

Both great but Samuel/Sam is one of my all -time top boys names so that gets my vote.

Samuel 😍😍😍😍 I'm biased though, mine has just turned 15

Thomas by far.
Samuel is fine, but there’s no contest when up against Thomas..

Both great names. Keep one for Ds2? 😉

Love both. Voting for Thomas but both lovely classics and fairly underused

You will have to accept that people will call them Sam, Tom, Tommy etc. So do you like those?

Both lovely...as both like both.....Why not make the choice when baby arrives.. He might look more like one name than the other...
