I like Samuel for our son, but dh wants to use Samantha for a girl. Which do you prefer?

nn for Samuel :)
Very tough question as Sam is truly one of my favourite names. However, I would be just naming my son Sam (not Samuel) but I'm torn about not having a formal name so I think I'd more likely use Samantha nn Sam, but w/ the release of Nicole Kidman's "Bewitched" it might become really common again (as it was 15 - 20 years ago).

While I do like Samantha, I have to go with Samuel. It's my favorite Sam name.

Master Shake: No, Frylock, The Highlander was a documentary, and events happened in real time.

I prefer "Sam" on boys, so I'd have to pick Samuel.
Oh well I wasn't going to call either one Sam, I just put that as the title. Sorry for the confusion.
UGH! No Sam? Then neither name gets my vote (sorry)

interesting, i think Samantha is very feminine (unless you choose to call her by nn Sam...i guess i'm not a nn person anyway)
well i never thought of it that way. you really do look at all parts of the name! (when you think about it, most female names derive from some male name or another)
Samuel

ooh, tough choice. my hubby just mentioned Samuel for a boy. i don't think you should use both. i think i would choose whichever name was less common in the popularities...i'm guessing that's Samantha (a beautiful girl's name!)
ok i checked and i was wrong...Samantha is used more than Samuel...

Tough choice because I also like both. I'd go with Samuel for a boy though. Maybe he'd be willing to use a similar sounding name for a girl. Such as Savannah or Sabrina.

Oh lol don't worry I won't!
I kinda like both but because my name is Samantha, I prefer Samuel
Well, maybe you could use Samuel if it's a boy, and Samantha if it's a girl? I like both names, but if I had to pick, I'd choose Samuel.
