Apart from Samantha Grin

Just after opinions of what an equivalent name would be. If you think it's boring, let me have an equally dull name!

But also the biblical names are lovely and strong.

I actually had no idea until just now that I appear to like girls names that can be shortened to unisex or boy's names. Frankie is particularly nice.

Thank you!

Joe is on the boy's shortlist, so that's interesting. Lucy and Jess do feel similar. Tamara is more unusual, almost exotic to me (perhaps I don't get out much!)

Lou (Louisa/Louise/Eloise)
Jo (Joan/Joanne/Joanna/Jolene)

What is it you like about Sam, that it’s short? That its unisex or something else? Francesca shortened to Frankie? Charlotte shortened to Charlie?
