Samanther.
Would have nickname Sammy.

That spelling is horrific OP
Samantha (spelt the usual way) is fine though

Confused

Samanther?
Never ever seen it spelled that way. Never heard it with an R at the end (assuming that’s a pronunciation thing though).
Samantha is a lovely name, don’t ruin it like that.

MrsXx4 · 21/05/2021 18:00

Surely not that spelling though?

I love samantha - Sam - for a girl. Cool but classic

Not your strange spelling though

PassMeTheWotsits · 21/05/2021 17:42

Why not spell it samanthuuurrr?

Pemba · 21/05/2021 17:38

I like it, spelled Samantha! It isn't fashionable at the moment though, and you will get rigid thinking people automatically saying 'dated' but don't let that bother you.

Many of the names that ARE currently fashionable are unattractive and weird (Wren, Olive) or meh (Isla, Arya). Samantha is much nicer.

Definitely spell it as Samantha. I know a Pauler and she gets a lot of people assuming it's spelled Paula and wishes her parents had just used Paula.

Happycat1212 · 21/05/2021 17:32

I really dislike it (both spellings)

17caterpillars1mouse · 21/05/2021 17:30

Love Samantha. It is dd2s mn. Not Samanther though, hoping its an autocorrect mistake?

Twinkie01 · 21/05/2021 17:14

You spell check has failed.

user1493494961 · 21/05/2021 17:11

Weird spelling.

hauntedvagina · 21/05/2021 17:00

Do you mean Samantha?

Lotsachocolateplease · 21/05/2021 16:58

It’s actually a lovely name! It’s not heard that often now. Go for it!

FedNlanders · 21/05/2021 16:58

Not that spelling
