HelpRe: Samantha
in reply to a message by Rose-Berry
I think it's the legacy of Bewitched. That show was very popular and increased the popularity of Samantha, making it a classic. I know soooo many Samanthas tbh, of all ages. It's become just another Sarah or Emily because of the continued popularity.

I don't think Samantha will have continued popularity though. That's what makes it different to names like Emily and Sarah which I think will stand the test of time (and have been used for a long time).
For me, Samantha is a name I group with things like Sharon, Tracy, Karen, Kerry, Kelly, Stacey, Amber, Leanne, Danielle etc - names which are only fashionable for a couple of decades and then go out of fashion. Maybe it's seen differently in America (where it's still popular), and maybe it will stay popular there. I'll have to see in ten years' time where it is!
In England, it's falling quite steadily and is at 289.
