It's lovely. Just nice and simple.

I always picture a blonde child, although all the Sam's I know have brown hair weirdly!

I think it's a lovely name. I only know one little Sam, he's such a nice boy.

Lovely

I like it so much I named my son Sam
He does have Samuel on his birth certificate but in 28 years it's only teachers and doctors that have ever called him that

PalacePalacePalace · 07/07/2017 18:08

Sam is awesome...i have one so might be biased Grin

I've also been pleasantly surprised that there aren't that many about. Mine is the only Sam in his year group at school.

Ropsleybunny · 07/07/2017 18:09

Love it.

JolieColombe · 07/07/2017 18:09

I love it. It was first on our list if we'd had a boy.

Mrsknackered · 07/07/2017 18:11

No reaction really, I've known and heard of some many it's pretty boring.
Inoffensive though, no bad connotations.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/07/2017 18:34

I think it's lovely.

NikiBabe · 07/07/2017 18:35

Lovely babe but dd has 3 in her class and they all get their surnames too.

EnglishGirlApproximately · 07/07/2017 21:19

I have a lovely Samuel, normally called Sam. I'd agree with pp that it's a lovely, safe name from sensible parents Grin He looks exactly like a Sam 😊

Yika · 07/07/2017 21:46

I find it a wee bit boring, but I know a wonderful Sam so I like it more because of that.
