I love the nn Sammy for a girl, or any of the above spellings, but I'm not crazy about any of the names that would serve as a full name for Sammy. Do you think this name can stand on it's own? After all, plenty of nn's are now being used as fn's; Jack, Kate, Max, and Alex. Do you prefer Samantha, Samara, or Samaya? If none of those then what would you use? TIA, Emily

And nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel
That things are right when I know they're wrong
Nobody sings a love

I don't like Sammy / Sammie etc - or any other nickname ending with an 'ee' sound - as a full name (of course, real names ending with the 'ee' sound like Mary and Lucy and Jeremy are fine).

I prefer the Sammie spelling as a nickname for a girl (Sammy is more boyish to me), although the sound isn't really my style. As I said in the other thread, Samara is my preferred Sam- name for girls, as I don't like Samantha. There's also Samuella if you get desperate!

I prefer Samma to Sammie as a Sam- nn.

I love the nn Sammy for a girl but I prefer it spelt Sammie. I don't like it as a full name, I think it's better as a nn. Names like Jack, Kate etc don't sound very nicknamey but then Sammy does. I would use it for Samantha. Anonther suggestion is Jessamine. Sure you don't say the 'sam' when pronouncing it but you can link Sammy to it as a nn.

I like Samantha but do not care for Sammy at all.

I think it can stand on it's own. Here in Australia there is a lady on tv called Sami (pronounced like Sammy). Samantha is definitely my fave Sam name that a nn could derive from.

I like Samara, but I like Samaire better. Also, I think it could stand alone, but it wouldn't look very professional later on in life, and they would need another name to fall back on.

I like Sam or Sami/Sammi too for a girl and on its own but so many people would always assume that its short for something. :)

Sammy is a cute NN fora small child; however, it does have the 'cutesy' connotations with it and I just can't picture a grown woman going just by Sammy. I like it as a nn for Samina and Salima.

My brother-in-law works with a Sammye Jo. And Sammye is her full name. I kind of think that's pretty.
