Sam J. Miller: Hey, my name is Sam J. Miller, and I don't have anything super interesting or funny about my name. It's pretty much the most boring name ever, but it is interesting, I think, that my first name is just Sam, not Samuel. Because, my mom wanted to name me Gem, from the character in To Kill a Mockingbird. Which was before there was a cartoon called Gem, and my father wanted me to be named after my grandfather, who was named Samuel. So, it was a compromise to shorten it to just Sam. So, that is the only interesting thing there is about my very boring name.
