Is there a female 'Sam' name that is not Samantha?

[Truckdriver]

Ok not even preggers but I love the name Sam, we have a DD and want a 2nd LO so if it is a boy will be Samual. But if it is a girl would love to still have Sam but not keen on Samantha (too many memories of girls I did not like a school called Samantha).

So interested if anyone can think if a Sam name for a girl not Samantha.

Hope that makes sense!

Sameena is a lovely name.

There's an actress in 'Corrie' called Samia, I think.

Samira
Samara
Sami
Samala

Samara is very nice imo. Nicer than Samantha even.

sammie
samanda
samilla
samaya
samandra
samosa

ok so some of those were made up

samara is lovely means watched over or protected by god

samuela ?

Good suggestions

alex - some of your suggestions made me laugh - Samosa

Samaris I think (although may have made it up)

Samaris? Sounds like a cruise missile.....

Salome

Sambucka from waterloo road

There's a Samia in DS's class (SAM-ee-a not Sam-EE-a). She gets called Sammy by her mum. I like it.

I really wanted to use samara, but DH wouldnt go for it, ended up with Samantha. Luckily I have no bad associations with the name :-)

If it's a boy are you aware the conventional spelling is Samuel not Samual. As for girls all I can think of is Samia, Sahara and Samara.

Samirah
Samya
Samaria

... or SamCam :o

Samala / Samale /Sammala
Samaria
Samarie
Samella
Samirah
Samuelle

lol @ samosa and samcam!! love samia....

Sambuca... SugarLemons beat me to it!

Simone? AT a push

possibly give her three names with initials S A M nn sam

Susannah Alice May for example it's along shot but could work if you really have your heart set on Sam

I teach a very sweet girl whose given name is Sammy.

Osama

Or you could go American like Sammy-Jo, Sammy-Lou etc

Jessamine - there is a proper one for ya
