[Opinions] Samantha
Replies
I find it pretty dated to the 80s and 90s. I don't like it all that much. It's not my style.
You don't really hear/see it used on little girls in Australia these days either. It's not a horrible name, but it does sound slightly dated to me. That said, I think it's still usable.
I have a cousin named Samantha; she's 11 years old. I don't see it as dated, because it's still moderately popular after 20-30 years of use. If it were dated, I think it would have faded a bit by now, but it seems to be hanging around.
Good thing, too, because I really like it. It's a sweet, soft sort of name, but it still has a backbone. A Samantha knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it (or maybe I'm just thinking of my cousin).

I love it, its wonderful. Definitely time it made a come back :)
I don't think it's too dated at all. I'm in Canada, and every now and then I've met a Samantha. One is 13 now and one is 11. And my friends just had a baby in February that they named Samantha Grace. I think it's a great way to honour Sam.
I'm not sure about in the UK, but in the US it is still a well used name. Not to the point where I am constantly meeting little Samantha's, but common enough for me not to think twice about it.
It's a pretty name and definitely usable. It's still popular here in the U.S., but less so than it used to be. I don't think it's too dated.
I like Samantha. However, it's still pretty overused where I live, so I probably wouldn't use it.
