  • Comment left Jun 27, 2008: "I know someone named Samuel. He is the answer to my prayers." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Sep 30, 2007: "I was named Samuel after my late paternal Grandfather. Growing up in the 80's, I did not run into very many other Samuels. In fact, from grade school through high school, I was the only Samuel in our school district. Given that I was named after my Grandfather who passed when my father was only 13, our common naming led me to feel a strong familial connection with the man I never met. I am proud to be called Samuel." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jul 14, 2007: "Vi named our baby Samuel after my grandfather. It is little used in Norway now, but as the trend tend to go in 120 year waves, Samuel is on its way up according to the statistics :-)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 22, 2007: "My name is Samuel and I really like it. It looks real nice, I think. I met about 4 or 5 people with this name. I LOVE IT." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 21, 2007: "Samuel is a very flexible name. I'd call a child Sammy when he's small and later in situations when he's upset or when I praise him. When he's naughty I'd call him Samuel in a stern voice. His mates can always call him Sam, which is cool. My dog's called Samuel as well." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 07, 2007: "I love this name. It's my fiance's name - but I liked it before I met him. He grew up fighting the nickname "Sammy" and goes instead by Sam. What's nice about this nickname is that you can call a baby Sam, a toddler Sam, a teenager Sam, and an adult Sam - and it never sounds weird. Samuel is a very professional looking name that easily converts to Sam and is barely ever mispronounced." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jan 07, 2007: "Our son is named Samuel and we call him Sammy or Sambo. As he gets older it will probably turn into Sam." (Report as inappropriate)
