I have a two-part question for y'all.

1) What is your name?

2) What nicknames do you have that are somehow related to your name?

I'm Samantha, and I have four nicknames. the first two are obvious -- Sam and Sammy.
my third nickname is "Sammymantha"...my uncle started calling me that when I was a baby. it stuck. it's kind of cute, but I would murder anyone outside of my family who used it.
and finally, my mom used to call me "Miss Samantha" when I was in a bad mood when I hit my teenage years (which was quite often, hah) and it eventually got shortened to "Missantha". I actually love this one.

My name is Samantha too.

I prefer to be called Samantha.
My parents like to call me Sam-bo.
The rest of my family calls me Sammy.
Friends/acquaintances call me Sam.
Close friends call me things like; Samwise, Sammajamma, Sammybear, Samson/Samsonite.

one of my teachers in high school always called me Sam-bo. I never understood why.
do you ever get asked if you like green eggs and ham, too? I'm just curious, even though I think it might just be something silly that my best friend started, lol.

Yeah, quite a few people call me Sam-I-Am, and I do get asked about Green Eggs and Ham more often than I'd like.

I never got where Sam-bo came from either but it seems weird that more than one person has used it for a nickname when it doesn't have any real significance, you know?
