I didn't mind though. People call me Sam, Samantha, Samanta, Sammie, and someone calls me Sammie Sam Sam (?). I don't really care what they call me, just as long as it's nice! :-) I love my name!"

I used to get Samantha the Pink Panther at primary school but i think that nickname was sooo lame it doesn't even deserve recognition really! lol What i like about my name is that its not too common amongst my age group. I only know of 1 other Samantha in my school year. There are loads of Samanthas around which were born in the early 90s though!" (Report as inappropriate)
