I recently had a conversation with another mom of a toddler, that went something like this:

Me: Your son's name is Samuel? That’s my little boy’s name, too.

Her: Really? Wow, that name is getting popular, huh?

Me: Do you call him Sam or Samuel?

Her: Samuel. Thank God no one’s tried to shorten it to Sam yet. What do you call your son?

Me: Sam.

Her: [pause] Oh.
