User Comments about the name Samson
Comment left Dec 30, 2008: "We named our son (b: Jan 5 1995) Samson. His hair was slow to grow and we took him for his first haircut in the summer of 1997. Coincidentally, whilst it was being cut, 'Deliah' by Tom Jones was playing over the sound system." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 24, 2008: "I am thinking about naming my son Samson. We aren't Jewish. Heck, we aren't anything really.
After reading up on the religious Samson, well we are really uncertain now. Samson seems like the great slayer of god against the Palestines. Do I really want to associate that with my son?" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 15, 2008: "I named my son, born 11/9/08, Samson. Everyone seems surprised by it's unusalness at first, and then most people settle into a smile and say they really like it. I, of coarse, love it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 06, 2007: "The name Samson was given to one of the judges of Israel. It means "sun" or "bright as the sun" which is symbolic of the story. Samson's hair was never cut. His strength was symbolized by the rays of the sun, the sun's strength, which were represented by his radiant locks. Delilah tried many ways to discover the source of Samson's strength, but when she cut his hair, she had symbolically cut off the rays of the sun, the sun's strength. Thus Samson, the sun-man, lost his strength." (Report as inappropriate)
