I have always loved the nn Sam and Sami for a girl but I am not big on Samantha. It has always felt really clunky too me. So I have been considering Samara. I wasn't sure to begin with but its starting to grow on me especially because of the Sami nn. My husband is very into trendy names, nearly everything I suggest is vetoed by him so I have given up on a lot of my names. I like the fact that Samara isn't trendy really either but I'm still not sure if I really love it. The other names on our short list are.

Addison
Indigo
Alexis
Isabelle
Imogen
Emery.


My other children are R iley, J ackson and P iper.

Just wanting to see what everyone's initial thoughts on the name are... and on our other names on the short list too. TIA
