Would you say that Samantha is dated? What would you think of a baby Samantha?
We don't hate Sam, but we'd prefer if people called her Samantha. Too long?
I kind of dislike Sammy, is that an issue? Sam I don't mind (even though I'd prefer Samantha), but Sammy is really not my favourite.
Other options are Sabrina and Kiera as well as Holly and Poppy.
I loved Isabella and Eva (Eva-Marie, Eva-Maria) for a while, but now they'll likely be middle names.
