I love it! I am loving how they incorporated Garner! So classy I think they did a lovely job naming all of their children!

Yay! They pick some of the best celebrity baby names.

9yrsLater · February 2012

Nice! They're such good namers.

westrose · February 2012

I love it. I am glad they did not do a crazy celebrity name.

alliejo725 · February 2012

I think it's nice, but dare I call it boring?

Their girls' names are so pretty and unique; was it too much to hope for more of the same for a little boy?

I'm not saying it's a bad name. I'm just saying....I would've been happier with his first name being Garner instead.

I like it!

I have a soft spot for Sam, but I get what you're saying. They seemed to have a traditional, but uncommon style with the girls (particularly Seraphina). I was expecting something like Augustine, Julian or Lucien. I still love Samuel, though.

I agree, I find Samuel a bit boring, but it is a good, solid name. It's just always refreshing to see Hollywood babies with real names Smile

MrsMandaK · February 2012

I like it!

We are naming this baby Samuel if he's a boy! Yes

LuckyMissus · February 2012

Love it!! Glad they went with Garner for the mn. Adorable.

Indynurse12 · February 2012

Yay! Good for them.

packfan20 · February 2012

Whoa - a normal celebrity name! Good for them.

HAFranklin · February 2012

Great name!

Ashnmike528 · February 2012

I love it! A solid name that goes well with their other children's names.

I totally hear you! But I'll still take Samuel over some of the celebrity names we've seen in recent years.

Thought the same thing!

ElinJ · February 2012

I just breathed a HUGE sigh of relief! LOL. I'm due in 3 months, and I've been SO worried they might choose the name we have picked out because the style of names I like is similar to theirs. I just didn't want everyone saying/thinking "Oh, like Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck's baby?"

Cute name!

mrsbecky07 · February 2012

Love it!

SarahPLiz · February 2012

I'm glad they didn't go creating a new firstname/surname thing with Garner. MN is cool.

And now Snooki is pregnant. Anyone wanna start a pool on how many superfluous letters that poor child will have to remember?

Laurakat81 · February 2012

I like it!

sweetpealee · February 2012

austenreader85 · February 2012

I really like Samuel! And I'm relieved they didn't choose Theodore! And I agree about not choosing Garner. There are enough surnames as first names.

isacdimi10 · February 2012

Obviously I like their choice but

I'm afraid this is going to make the name over popular

ITA! Man, I would have loved Violet, Seraphina and Lucien.

scoutkate · February 2012

I dig it! It's very "safe," but that's refreshing amongst celebs.

g8trkim · February 2012

I'm glad there are still some celebrities who have good taste in names.

Aligator28 · February 2012

Very nice!

Xenobia · February 2012

I love it and think it's perfect. I was worried that they wouldn't keep their good naming streak alive.

robynlesley · February 2012

I really like the name. Samuel Garner Affleck flows nicely and incorporates Jen's name (I know she kept it professionally but no clue about privately/legally) as well.

While Seraphina is not my style, I agree that all three children (love Violet) have nice names without the Hollywood "you-neek-ness."
