Samson

I think Samson is a beautiful name. It is graced with strength, power, and eloquence. I love the potential nicknames, including “Sam”, “Sammy”, and as one commenter mentioned “Sonny”. Overall, I think Samson is a great name.

Samson is a cute name. I’m surprised it’s not more popular.

Like this a lot more than Samuel, which I don't even like to be honest!

Great name and Sonny is a cute nickname. I prefer this to Samuel.

This name doesn't really 'do it' for me personally, but it has lovely connotations thanks to Regina Spector's beautiful song of the same name, and the allusions that Leonard Cohen makes in 'Hallelujah'. I am not religious so I have no personal relationship with the biblical story, but it's an evocative tragedy and fascinating folklore! A great name!

This is literally my dog's name. I can not imagine it being a name for someone my age though. There are a lot of Samuels in my class however. If you want a name for a dog, this is a good name. Maybe if your name is Sam and you have a son his name could be Samson, idk man.

I don't care for it. Why not just Sam? The -son ending sounds very trendy and obnoxious to me. And yes, it does remind me of Samsung.

It’s really handsome and cute.

I'm surprised that this name isn't rated 100% strong.

Samson is a very handsome name. It does kinda sound like a surname though.

Isn’t this a surname?

Makes me think of Samsung.

What a handsome, unique name. :)

Great name. I'm glad it's quickly climbing in popularity.

Underused.

To me Samson sounds very manly, brisk and brazen. Even to the point of being annoying at times.

I would never name my son Samson. It would always remind me of the Belgian children television series Samson and Gert. Samson is the name of a five-size puppet dog.

I like the name Samson because it has a sad but meaningful story behind it. And it's not overused, it's masculine yet sensitive. It's a keeper.

My son's name is Duke Samson Jeremiah. We chose Samson for one of his middle names because it means "strong."
