The name Samara is used in the popular Americanized version of the Japanese movie "Ringu" for a wicked child.

Since that is the only encounter I have had with a Samara, I cannot say that it brings back fond memories. However, it does have a beautiful sound to it and would look lovely in a signature. ^_^

My name is Zamara, everybody loves my name and tell me is very unique.

Samara is my name and i love my mum and dad for naming me it. I never have to worry about having the same name as someone because my name is special and individual.

My name is also Samara, Samara Lewis actually, and I love my name. Almost every single time I tell a person what my name is, they reply, "that is such a beautiful name, I love it".

this is a beautiful name when me and my husband found out i was pg that was the first name that came to our minds

Isn't Samara the name of the scary little girl off 'The Ring'? Lol I could be wrong.

I alraedy have a daughter and her name is Sasha. I am going to have another daughter and Im going to name her Samarah. I changed the spelling a little bit but I think that it is a lovely name. And I know when my daughter gets big she will love it as well.

I loved this name the moment I found it. I wanted to name my first and only daughter a Hebrew name that had good meaning. I also wanted my daughter to have my initials so it had to start with an "S". The name Samara encompasses all that I was looking for and everytime her name is said, it is like confirmation that God is protecting her.

yeah I love the name too, i'm so glad my parents named me Samara .. Samara Rose .. just a nice ring to it :) everyone tells me they love the name too .. so thanks mom! haha. only now I can't find another name that is equally great for my daughter!!

My name is Samara Honeychurch i love having an unusual name which i am always getting compliments for when i meet new people my mom said they were going to call me Tamara origionly however i am glad they didn't as it isn't as soft sounding, and like some of the Samara's above have never met another before!

This name was on that freaky Ring movie. It was awesome. The name is great.

My name is Samarah and i'm 31 now, this name was virtually unheard of back in 1976!!! i'm sure i was one of the first to EVER be called it! lol, great name :)

I am 24 years old, and hated my name fo the first part of my life, becauase it is so odd, but I love it now. It is the name of the wird kid in The Ring, maybe because Samara is a latin name of a winged seed (think a "heicopter" from an elm or maple tree) and a burning elm was a major part in the movie. But it's also a Russian name and stretches back to ancient times, origin lost in an extinct dialect of a long ago nation. It is also Hebrew/Arabic. I have met a couple people with the same name...it definitely is unique. Also, in regard to the assumption that it is related to the name Samantha...while both are Hebrew names, they are not related or derived from one another...Now, years later, I am proud of a name that encompasses me and makes me an individual.

My name is Samara. I was born in 1972. So, I have had a chance to really get use to this name.lol. I agree with the "other" Samara's...Everyone says, what a beautiful name Samara is! That is if they are pronouncing correctly. My parents pronounced my name Sa-mare-a (not Sa-marah, like that freaky girl from 'The Ring') When I was a kid, I hated my name. I wished I was a Jenifer or Susan like everyone else. But, now that I am 35yrs old I am glad I have had a unique name. One thing is for sure...people don't forget me..with a name like Samara.

I named my daughter Samara, and she loves it as do I. She always gets nice comments on it and she has never has someone with the same name in her class.

It's my daughter's name i didn't think anyone else had i name like it because it is so unusual and it sound really nice i love it because it is my daughter's name and it's beutiful just like her.

Samara is my daughter's name. i love it, however my sister cant stand it simply because of that little girl in the ring...lol... i had already chosen this name for her when the movie had just come out. my two best friends and i were watching that movie and realized that was the little girl's name before i had my daughter. but it was already picked out, and i love it. i hope she loves it just as much as i do.

I love this name & also 'Samira' =)
