I love Sam. It's great. And very sweet.
I don't like Samuel as much, but it's the best Sam- name and I do think Sam is a bit nicknamey so I would probably go with Samuel "Sam".
The only reason I would put a full name on the birth certificate is because he might want a full name when he grows up. Samuel sounds more professional than Sam does. And there's always a possibility that he doesn't want to go by a nickname, that way Samuel is a great name to fall back on.
