I think its lovely :-) but you must give him a middle name beginning with l.

If you are well prepared for years of comments from every second person you meet, then go for it - I really wouldn't.

I like it there might be a few comments but hey ho its not the end of the world.

how about christening him that but calling him Sam? giving him the option for later on. Will everyone associate it with the actor?

I wouldn't associate Sam Jackson with the actor - I think that would be fine, christen him Samuel, call him Sam, just don't give him a middle name starting with L

Does Sam Jackson flow well together?

It's fine, a nice normal name (not into old men ones which are so common at mo). I would stick with it.

babysoon1 · 03/11/2008 17:08

thanks - definitely wont be giving him a middle name starting with L (even though I love Louie!)

I think Sam Jackson flows nicely and its my fave name. I would have a Samuel William
Go for it

Louis Jackson is lovely.

I do know a James Bond, Micah Jackson and LaToyah Jackson (really!!) and an Elizabeth Taylor and they must get comments all the time. dont think Samuel Jackson would get too many comments.

I had a friend called Sam Jackson at college. Short for Samantha

I must admit, we thought carefully about the "famous" people who would have similar names and discounted Charlie, Sam, James, and anyone else called Brown!

Samuel L Jackson is the coolest mo fo on the planet. But so what if people associate your DS with him? It's a lovely name

babysoon1 · 04/11/2008 18:36

thanks - people seem very pro the name - think we'll probably go with it as things stand currently!

I have a Sam (Samuel) but mine has a middle name James. I didn't automatically think of the actor when I read your OP.
Love the name Sam Jackson , it sounds like a strong reliable type.
