I like this name with the middle name Eden. Think about it, Samantha Eden

Samantha @ Samantha Rose Says Says:
Ha! I'm just scrolling around this website randomly for a friend, but this was the first comment I saw about my name. Samantha Rose is actually my first and last name! I always get compliments on the flow of my name, so I definitely recommend it ;)

There were a lot of girls called Samantha in my generation, and the name remains popular. I do like it, and especially love Sam and Sammie. We had a girl budgie called Sammie, after a singer-songwriter called Samantha Murphy.

I can see myself having a daughter called Samantha. I like the nickname Sam, and when I think of Samantha I think of a bright, smiley, friendly, looking girl, who is always up for a play. I like the combo Samantha (for her first name) and Rose (for her middle name. All in all Samantha is a very nice name.

I apologize to all you Samanthas out there, but I have hated this name ever since I was a kid. I always thought it would drop in popularity over time, but it's still going strong and I can't understand why. The "man" and "tha" syllables together just sound so ugly! Probably my least favourite name out of the top 100.
MaryKathryn Says:
I know soooo many women named Samantha. I've known some that go by their whole name, some that go by Sammi, and some that go by just Sam. I think the name is beautiful and I would gladly use the name if it wasn't so popular.

This is my name... maybe in a few generations you can use it, but it's way too popular (still). I go by Sam (I hate nicknames Sammie/Sammy etc)
samanthar911 Says:
This is my name, and I absolutely hate it. It has the word "Man" in it, and all the nicknames suck. I go by Sam usually, not because it sounds better though. Its just shorter. Do your child a favor, and don't name them Samantha.
headintheclouds Says:
To me this is the ultimate 80's-90's girl name, at home with Ashley, Heather, Amber, Rachel, Carly, Amanda, Jessica, Jennifer, Melissa... I think it's all right, I don't have particularly have strong feelings for Samantha. I do dislike the nickname Sam for girls though.
KassemJ Says:
It's a decent name, but I don't personally like it. I also hate how it made the nickname "Sam" acceptable for girls. Sam is boys only, in my opinion.

This is a cute name!
samwright519 Says:
This is my name and I love it. I love having "Sam" as a nickname. There are no alternative spellings, so people never have any issues spelling my name. My friends all call me Sam, and I use Samantha at work because it sounds more professional.

Where I live the man part is stressed, which has always made this name sound unattractive to me
My brother was almost Samantha Joe. I may use this in honor of that little girl that never was. My parents would love it. I idolized Alyssa Malano in the 80s, so I don't mind the popularity or the datedness. Still charming!
