Title: Need help with name change
Post by: CaptFido87 on February 05, 2015, 08:09:40 PM
Hi folks,

So I had some free time yesterday and started thinking my future name. I already knew off the bat that Samantha was the name for me. I've told my mom many times in the past that I always liked the name Sam. Even Had a crush on 3 girls at different times, all named Sam. Naturally Samantha is perfect choice. The part I need help is trying to decide what the middle name should be. Just looking up info online I found that most people with Samantha name use a 1 syllable middle name. This seems to make sense as Samantha is a 3 syllable name and my last name, which I plan on keeping, is Schuler a 2 syllable name.

These are a few that stuck out to me when I was looking at names: May/ Mae, Ann, Elizabeth/ Beth, Jane, Marie, Rae, Juliet, Rose, Grace, Nicole, Jean, Paige, Kate, and Noelle. The ones in bold are my top favorites so far. Jane is the most common. Grace is so my favorite so far.

I want something that not only is easy to say and read, but girlish at the same time. Especially on social media, A lot of girls my age eliminate the last name and feature the middle name. So it's got to flow.

Any suggestions or thoughts.

Thanks,
Marty (Sammi :-*)

I like Rae as well.  Grace is nice, too.  But Samantha Rae flows well.

Thank you scottanthony407. It does have a fashionable sense to it and flows nicely. Also being very common so it'd fit in well.

My daughter has a 2 syllable middle name but it rings well with Samantha. Don't limit yourself too much on that account if you find a name that just rings for you.

Hey LordKAT, What's her middle name? I'm open to whatever, but to me I just like how a one syllable name sounds when paired with it. Thats all
