Samantha

[17caterpillars1mouse]

I really love Samantha and my grandad is Samuel so it's honoring too, but I'm guessing people find it dated? I see it as a bit of a classic and imagine some would find it a refreshing choice?

Thoughts and do you know any under 10s named Samantha?

Maybe Sammy as a nn for when small

Speaking of which, does anyone know of a young Michelle?

Hi, I've not met any Samantha's since I was in school so she would be about 28 now, it's a good name there is Aramantha with a similar sound but a bit rarer as well.

Two words: Samantha Cameron.

I think Samantha from satc, showing my age but if you like it op go with it.

I know a 5 yo Samantha: she's the loveliest thing.

@squoosh she was called Tracy Samantha Lord, but Dexter (Bing Crosby) always called her by her middle name. Hence the song, 'I Love You, Samantha'...

I guess thinking about it Samantha is quite 80's but for some reason I think it still sounds suitable for a baby/child and is quite pretty, I like Sammy as a nn too. Definitely sounds different to the other classic 80s names that I would never place on a child now!

I love Samantha. xx

I don't like it at all, sorry, because the emphasis is on "man" when you pronounce it, it just doesn't sound like a girl's name in my opinion.

I do like the name Samuel, it's a classic that hasn't dated, unlike Samantha. I went to school with loads of Samantha's in the 80s and it's not a name I've heard resurface much since.

My sister is called Samantha, she's early 30s, her friends call her Sam/Sammie but her name to family is Mantha/Manthy. (Outs self completely). She loves her name btw.

Also know a 2 yr old Samantha so don't think it is dated.

I really like it. It doesn't sound too dated to me. I think it's pretty. I do like a name for a girl that ends in 'a'
