Hello, I am due baby boy no 3 in October and struggling with names. Initially both my husband and i really liked Phoenix until we shared it with family who all hated it :) I know it should n't matter but did put me off it. I also like short gender neutral names. One we were thinking of which is alot more common and simple but still like is Sam or Sammy. Our other boys are Theo and Jesse. Wondered peoples thoughts on Sam or Sammy. Not keen on Samuel or Samson etc.

I have a Samuel who was sammy as a baby, but now he's 15 he's definitely just Sam, sammy just seems to cutesy for a strapping teenage boy. However I do know a 7 year old boy called sami

Not very keen on Sam. I prefer Sammy, but wouldn’t register a child as Sammy.
How about:
River
Dallas
Robin
Drew
Sasha
Oakley
Madison
Lennox
Harley
Hayden
Quinn
Sydney

I have a Samuel who is called Sammy all the time, can't imagine him even being a Sam. I've never come across another child called Sammy so like the fact that it's unusual but not too out there
