My husband and I really like the name Samantha, but are struggling with middle name...I really liked Catherine (my late aunt), but I'm thinking that it is too long especially since Samantha is a long name...
That's only 5 syllables, all tolled. Unless you go with a 1 syllable middle name, everything else is going to be at least equally as long.
I think Samantha Catherine is great, but if you think it's too long, Samantha Cate would work. Other 1 syllable names I like: Blythe Paige Eve Tess Kay (which can be a nickname for Catherine) May/ Mae
I think Samantha Kate sounds great and still honors your aunt. But if you want shorter you could do Jean/Jane, Paige, Mae...along the same vein, to me anyway.

Re: Need help with middle name...
i agree, samantha cate works really well.
other suggestions:
samantha christine
samantha elise
samantha rose
samantha camille
samantha kathleen
samantha lynn
I agree with pp, Samantha Kate/Cate is nice and still has the family connection.
Although, unless you plan on calling her by her first and middle name, I don't think Samantha Catherine is bad at all.
My first thought was Samantha Cate/Kate
~ it is a sweet way to honor your aunt without being too cumbersome....
