Samson

It has been a regret for me to named my 2nd boy Samson. During that time I was choosing a name for my son, I was a new christian and not realising that Samson in the Bible is not a blessed man of God. I chose this name was because I named my 1st son Samuel and in order to have a same alphebet I finally picked Samson after read some references and books which carry the meaning of "Good Listener". I thought it's ok and my husband love it too.

After I have announced my baby's name to all my friends esp Pastor and friends in chruch, they actually adviced me not to use the name coz it is not a good name and afraid that it will be make fun by his school mates later. You know, Samson and Delilah.. Teachers and school mates all called him with this name now and so far no teasing and making fun issue yet. After all, it is not the meaning but the character / personality being placed in the Bible. God left unobeyed Samson without he himself realise it and he had a bad ending too.

But since this has been done in his birth cert, no choice I have to accept it. Perhaps, when he is 12yrs old and doing his new IC, might consider to change it later. Well, mom and dad out there, please choose your kids name carefully other wise will ended up like me, regret and guilty all the way.
