HelpRe: WDYT of Sam?
in reply to a message by MelH
I kind of know what you mean. Although I don't find Samuel unattractive, but most of the name's appeal is in the nickname Sam. If I named my son Samuel, I know I would ALWAYS call him Sam. But yet I don't know if I could bring myself just to name him Sam because I would worry that he would constantly be explaining that no Sam isn't short for anything.
As long as the nickname isn't cutesy than most nicknames don't bother when used on their own. Sam and Ben are fine but name your kids Sammy and Benji and it's awful in my opinion. As long as the name ages well then I don't see it as a huge issue.
Shake is going to jump off a cliff so he can become a Highlander
Frylock: Shake wait. The Highlander was just a movie.
Master Shake: No, Frylock, The Highlander was a documentary, and events happened in real time.
