Cool people are called Sammy. Case closed.
But in all seriousness, if you're going to say that it sounds childish, you could literally say the same for any other name that ends in -y or -ie. I think Teddy, for example, is, by far, the worst, in this category.
I also noticed that in another comment someone said that you get bullied for being called Sammy...? My real name is Samuel, but I go by Sammy, and quite frankly, people took the mick out of me for being called Samuel all the time, as opposed to being called Sammy. Which, personally, I will never change.
If you're called Sammy, and you aren't childish, it won't make a difference. If you are called Sammy, and you ARE childish, it will be 100 times worse.
