William or Samuel

Lots of the boys names we liked are out (Henry, Oliver, Elliot...) so our front runners are now William and Samuel.

I keep veering between the two. Which is nicest?

Thanks

Interesting - a lot more Samuel leaning than I expected. Any more for any more?

I like Samuel, it's on my shortlist Smile

William is on our list, but we really like Samuel (but can't use it).

Samuel also biased though.

Nanasueathome · 10/12/2016 18:34

My youngest grandson is Samuel, so I am biased

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 10/12/2016 18:36

William, by a country mile

TangledUpInGin · 10/12/2016 18:38

I love them both but I'm biased Grin

Like both but not keen on the nn Sam so would go for William.

Sparrowlegs248 · 10/12/2016 21:23

Samuel. There are loads if Williams atm. I like William but 4/7 boys at the toddler softly were all named William!

DramaAlpaca · 10/12/2016 21:24

William.

I like Sam very much, but I'm not so keen on Samuel for some reason.

AmberEars · 10/12/2016 21:24

William

Friolero · 10/12/2016 21:25

I prefer William
