The name "Samantha"did not exist until the writers of classic supernatural sitcom "Bewitched" invented it for their lead character.
Geek fact: this means that Fox Mulder's abducted sister (in the X-Files), named Samantha, is somewhat of an anachronism as she was already a year old before the name was invented.
Oh, and 'fuck' isn't an acronym of any kind. The OED states that it has its root in the old Germanic from the verb "focken" (sp) meaning to poke.
