I think that the spelling of Sammie is now classed as more sophisticated in England, and less and less people are being named Sammy, Sam or Samantha for a girl. I don't actually know of any males with the name Sammie as it appears to be a girl's name to me. I love my name and am quite happy to be named this on my birth certificate. I think that my name Sammie Banks has a certain ring to it and I love it.
