I really adore the name [name_m]Samson[/name_m]. Especially since my husband and I kind of came up with it together. He liked the name [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] and nn [name_u]Sam[/name_u]. I like the nn [name_u]Sam[/name_u], but not so much [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]. So we kind of agreed [name_m]Samson[/name_m] is a good name to consider if we were to have a boy.
But, I see [name_m]Samson[/name_m] spelled [name_m]Sampson[/name_m], as well. I was just trying to get a feel for what the more favorable spelling is. I’m not a big fan of creative spelling with it comes to names. I like to stick with the classic and most original spelling.
What do you think?
Also, is there any other names you can think of where you can get the nn [name_u]Sam[/name_u] from?
I prefer [name_m]Samson[/name_m] 100%. The p isn’t really needed and I think it makes the name less attractive. Also [name_m]Sampson[/name_m] makes me think of the Simpsons.
Everyone, great opinions… thank you for your thoughts! Looks like [name_m]Samson[/name_m] is more favorable. I think I like the looks of this spelling more, but I find myself wanting to emphasis a “P” when I say [name_m]Samson[/name_m] lol. Like [name_m]SamPson[/name_m]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though I know it’s basically silent in the spelling that includes the P.
