There are so many
Sam- names. I think I like Sammax and Samlet but the only one I think I would actually consider using would be
Samuel.
Samson has a definite Jewish vibe, much like
Reuben. They just never really took off amongst Christians. I'm not saying that matters at all, just an observation.
Samson is okay but people tend to think of
Samson,
Delilah, and his infamous hair.
I love it on a dog, though.
