Apart from Samuel, what other "Sam" (boys) names are there?

I like the name Sam. My DH isn't in love with it, but doesn't mind it. But he doesn't adore Samuel. I dont want Sam on its own as its too much of a nickname.

I can't really think of any other "Sam" names (well, apart from Samson!).

Samson.

I suppose Samwise is a bit too Lord of the Rings and not a real name but it's the only other one I can think of.

Simon Andrew Matthew for example? Initials that spell a word are always fun!

WordGetsAround · 25/06/2016 19:08

Sorry - just seen you've thought of that already!

Samwell. A minor enough GoT character to get away with?

LotsofDots · 25/06/2016 19:09

Samwell. Perhaps too Game of Thrones...

Zhabr · 25/06/2016 19:16

Samvel (Armenian name)

Samir

Salmon

maggiethemagpie · 25/06/2016 22:48

Samson?

PatriciaHolm · 25/06/2016 22:51

Solomon, possibly? or Sami.

BikeRunSki · 25/06/2016 22:51

Isambard (although DH wasn't having any of it, our Sam is a Samuel)
Bassam (Muslim name)

CaoNiMao · 26/06/2016 10:31

Not Samwell! It's the name of a guy who made a YouTube song that goes "I said what, what - in the butt". Google it if you don't believe me!

Nickname1980 · 26/06/2016 12:52

Haha love these suggestions! thank you!
Keep em coming if anyone's got anything else!

I see i totally misunderstood. I thought you meant short snappy classic one syllable names. Blush

Nickname1980 · 11/07/2016 09:53

Haha no probs, Warrior, I thought that's how you read it!

Samwell and Samweis/Samwise

ApocalypseSlough · 11/07/2016 10:02

Solomon is lovely MN Sol or Solly.

SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace · 11/07/2016 10:03

Sam-I-Am

MoggieMaeEverso · 11/07/2016 10:13

Sampson
Sameer
Samford
Samworth
Samhill
Samathon
Samward
Samion
Sambert

Or you could use a name ending in -sam (can't think of any!)

Or give him names with initials that spell Sam.

Or just call him Sam.

Hereagainalways · 11/07/2016 10:14

Personally I'd just call him Sam.

But I have a Ben, not short for Benjamin.
