  I don't consider it too popular at all.  You can always check out one of the baby name websites to see how popular the name has been in recent years.

  I don't think so, and I really like that name! It was on my list too.

  I like it and I don't know or hear of many Samantha's around me. I know DH like the name as a middle name. He chose Ashley Samantha. I had to nix that idea because her intials. Ashley Samantha Snyder she would have been teased so bad for what it spelled.

  Had you asked me yesterday, I would have said no. That being said, I talked to two friends last night and both of them had cousins/acquaintances that had just had girls and named them Samantha. Go figure.

  I don't think it's too popular.  I don't know anyone with a Samantha.

  I think it's a fantastic name, but I am biased!  There were NEVER any other Samantha's while I was growing up and I loved that!!

  I think it is, but then I don't want to use anything in the top 100 (200 would be better).  Looks like Samantha is at about #12 right now.  How about a name that sounds similar, but isn't so close to the top if you're worried?  I like Samara (if you can get over The Ring).

  I don't think so. That has been/is on the top of my girl list for years now. I've always liked that name. Do you have a middle name for it as well??

  No, I don't think so at all.  I love it, esp the nickname Sam!  So cute.

  I don't know any younger Samantha's either, but I had checked the name lists and was suprised it was ranked anywhere from 20th-12th.

  My son is Maxwell, and I love how "Max and Sam" sounds together. We would probably use Rose as a middle name (family name).
