[Opinions] Sam and Ella
What would you think? Whether you're one of a set of twins or you've found your soulmate and people call out, "Hey look, there's Sam and Ella!"(i.e. "Salmonella")

Honestly, I think this is the sort of thing that you notice because you're looking for it. I think that in an everyday scenario, it would be rare that someone would call it out then think of salmonella because context is everything with the brain. And in these sitations, the context is Sam and Ella = two people. Sure, I think occassionally someone will overhear/notice, but I don't think it would be a daily problem or anything.

I didn't even think of that! I just thought that Sam and Ella would make a very cute sib set.

The dialect where I live would make it sound EXACTLY like salmonella. Sam and Ella are cute together but ... eh.

I think of a young friendly couple who smiles and is in love!

Another day, nothing new in the naming world. I like Sam, although Ella's overrated. Since both are extremely common names, I wouldn't think twice.

with the soulmate, though...you could say "Sam and Ella... they love each other so much, it makes everyone else sick ♥"Honestly, I think I'd be amused more than anything.

hmmmm...could this be the beginning of a new slang term? "I saw Bob and Susie makin' out in the halls yesterday, they have a serious case of Sam and Ella syndrome..."lmao I don't think it's catchy enough

I'd just try to make people call us Ella and Sam. lol. Or hope that Sam is short for Samuel or Sampson.
