[quote=Anonymous]I like all your options.

If you don't like the gender neutral nickname, Sam, pick another.  Samantha is long enough, that you can derive other nicknames - ex.  Mattie, Nattie, Mandy, etc.  Nicknames can also xome from the middle name.  Annette offers lots of opportunities for nicknames - Ann, Annie, Nan, Nettie, Etta, etc.  My mother picked my name, but because my father thought it was too long, they picked a nickname only remotely related to first name to use.  My grandparents didn't like that, so they picked a nickname equally distant from my middle name.  Be prepared that you can't always control the nicknames others use.   Your daughter, or one of her friends, may decide to call her Sam anyway.

I love Rose (used it as my Dd's middle name).

Beatrice/Trixie - I love this.  Beatrice always seemed old-fashioned to me (Aunt Bea), but it seems like it's time for a comeback.  Trixie reminds me of the Trixie Belden mysteries.  I generally recommend the series for adolescent girls, but especially for anyone named Trixie.

I think Annette is a general type of name that would work well with most first names.  Longer first names will give you more nickbame possibilities, but also increase the letter count.  Most of the time, I don't think that matters, but may get tiresome for DD if she has to blacken bubbles on standardized tests someday, if they're not all virtual by then.[/quote]
