Comments for the name Samson

My son's name is Duke Samson Jeremiah. We chose Samson for one of his middle names because it means "strong."

"Samson" is a song by Regina Spektor.

In the description of this name it states that Samson's hair was the source of his power. Technically this is an inaccurate statement; God was the source of his strength, his hair was merely a sign of his Nazarite vow.

My name is Sam, and I think it would be fun to name my child Samson and then go by his middle name.

I like the name Samson because it has a sad but meaningful story behind it. And it's not overused, it's masculine yet sensitive. It's a keeper.

I would never name my son Samson. It would always remind me of the Belgian children television series Samson and Gert. Samson is the name of a five-size puppet dog.

To me Samson sounds very manly, brisk and brazen. Even to the point of being annoying at times.

As Saru pointed out, Samson's hair wasn't the source of his strength. To clarify further, God was the source, and Samson's strength was from him. When Samson's hair was cut, he was no longer the Lord's Nazarene, and the Lord no longer blessed him with strength. [noted -ed]

On the German version of the children's show Sesame Street, a muppet bear named Samson was one of the original main characters, appearing on the show from 1978 until the 2010s.
