I really like my name. People always ask what if you could pick any other name what would it be and I really would not want to change my name. Your parents pick your name for a reason so why would you want to change it.

The best thing about the name Samantha: It has the word man in it. that makes me laugh. The worst thing about the name: idk you tell me. If my name wasn`t Samantha....: it would be richard, or bob... the names I will be naming my daughters since I was not fortunate enough to be named that. Extra information: I am really Samuel.

my mom named me samantha i think just because she liked it but im not fully sure.. i love my name but not my middle name unless its like this- Sammy Lauren i just dont really like lauren and sometimes i cant even spell it right! and im not exactly sure how well of a listener i am haha :) but i guess i am one and people say i look like a samantha.. my best friends cousin's name is sammantha (with 2 m's) so whenever my friend spells my name she puts 2 m's in it haha but i understand so its ok :) and that exact same friend.. her sisters middle name is lauren like mine! and i really like her sisters other middle name (marie) and my friends middle name (brooke) i also like the name lillieann or carly or jessica (my sister AND cousins name) or jennifer and bryleigh (my neices name)
