Answer 11

Sam is Classic

But Luke well i dunno if it was short of Lucas maybe i'll say Luke

So Luke XD

Answer 12

Luke!

Its stronger .

Sam is more multicultural sounding.

If Sam would be 'short' for Samuel' why in begeezes not just call him Sam?

My sons name is Josh. It is not short for anything.

Answer 13

I like Luke a lot more than Sam. Sam isn't very masculine and there's also a good chance he'd get teased.

Answer 14

Luke is cute it is so positive

Answer 15

Both are cute but i like Luke more!

Answer 16

Luke for sure =)

Answer 17

Samuel is too plain, and your son will be nicknamed Sam which is usually associated with girls these days. Go with Luke, it's refreshing.

Answer 18

I like Luke more

Answer 19

Luke.

Sam [im NOT a homophobe!! my best guy friend is g*y], reminds me of a g*y guy i used to know.

Answer 20

Luke, by a long shot :]

Answer 21

Sam... It sounds cool! But if Luke was spelled backwords: Ekul, It would say Eeeh cool. :D They both cool then!

Answer 22

Sam is cute but Luke is better.

Answer 23

i love the name Samuel and the nickname Sam.

good choice.

Answer 24

Both are great but Sam is more popular (at least around here). I think Luke's best! Congrats?

Answer 25

I babysat for brothers named Sam and Luke when I was a teenager.  These are both great names.  I think Sam is a bit more classic sounding, but Luke is Biblical.  The choice could also depend on the last name, too.

Good luck choosing!

Answer 26

To complete Anonymous Liz's answer ~ Samuel is also biblical.

I vote for Sam.  It is my son's name.  :)  

Answer 27

Luke is great!

Answer 28

Luke is way better than Sam
