> Sam has probably heard many Dr. Seuss references.

I have, and some of them even intended to be derogatory, but I never resented it. In fact, I have a "Sam-I-Am" T-shirt (as does my father, who has the same name) and wear it with pride.

My great uncle is named Charlie Brown. He gets the biggest kick out of sharing his name with the famous comic strip character, and whenever that fact is brought up, he grins, maybe winks, and makes some lighthearted quip about it. One of his sons is named Chuck. He doesn't think as highly of it.

It's all a matter of how you choose to look at it, I guess. Granted, some names are easier to be positive about than others.
