HelpRe: It seems to be celebrity baby day today....Another one.

To give the kid options.
When she is older she could go by Samantha, or Sam.
And how do you know you're never going to call her by Samantha (if that was her name). She's just been born.

And i agree, they should call their baby the name they like best...
It doesn't invalidate our opinion that a longer "formal" name would be nicer, with "Sam" as a nickname.
Some people like formal names with nicknames, others don't see the point. I personally am glad i was named Elizabeth, not just Liz. It gives me more options and allows for differing degrees of formality when dealing with work people and with friends & family.

Oh no, I am not saying that formal names are bad, I just was meaning that in the particular case of Tiger Woods daughter it just probably made sense for them to use Sam and not a longer formal name. I guess I just don't like it when some people (this isn't including you necessarily) say there MUST be a formal name, not just a nn. I do agree with you though when you say many names would be better with a longer more formal name.
