Comment left Oct 01, 2009: "We named our first son Samuel and now we are trying to think of a name for number 2 (in case it is a boy). And we can't find any other name that we like as much as Samuel... tough!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 31, 2009: "My son's name is "Samuel." Love it, I work in the NICU and see babies all day, and have never had a Samuel there. It's strong and Sam is an adorable nickname!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 26, 2009: "In one of those 1980s Super Sentai programs in Japan (and this is BEFORE Power Rangers that dates only from the early 1990s), the 1987 program entitled 'Hikari Sentai Maskman' (Light Squadron Maskman), the character of the Maskmen's mentor Commander Sanjoruu Sugata (played by Japanese actor Hayato Tani of Takeshi's Castle fame) was renamed Director Samuel Sugata in the Philippine Tagalog version of Maskman - retitled 'Laser Squadron Maskman'."

Comment left Nov 30, 2008: "My name is Samuel, and I was given this name because my parents are Catholic and they thought the name was meaningful in its biblical sense. I don't get picked on and I am now a physician so the name means less as I'm called by my surname more often. However, my middle name, Maximilian, is way cooler so I now go by Maximilian. However, when I play soccer or do sports, esp. while I go hunting with my relatives, "Sam" works just fine. Actually, the name "Sam", esp. when whispered, is the stealthiest name one can have, as to not startle deers and enemy combatants." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 30, 2008: "Hi i am sam and i am 12 years old. I love my name but it is easier to be called sam. At my age there are loads of sams and lots of James' too. the only people to pronounce it wrong are French people as they say. Sam-ew-elle and Indians call me Sh-mu-el" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Oct 26, 2007: "People always tell us they love this name. A nice short form too...Sam, gotta love it." (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 Jul 12, 2007: "We have just named our son Samuel. I love it. We think Sam is the name of someone who is everybody's friend! A friend (a big Sam) says he has always liked his name." (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)
Comment left Oct 07, 2006: "Samuel is a great name, we call our son Sam, a simple, strong, short name. I wish my name was Sam...lol." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Oct 03, 2006: "My son, Samuel, is 6. We live in N.W. Fl. So far I've not encountered a whole lot of other Sams in his classrooms. I've been very pleased w. the name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Sep 05, 2006: "Love it. It's my son's name. I agree that I don't like the fact that girls use "Sam" sometimes. It is a good, strong boy's name." (Report as inappropriate)
