Carly and Sam are two pivotal names in the show, and in a blog written by Dan Schneider, he remarks that on several occasions he considered naming the show iSam, then finally deciding on iCarly being the lead title. The argument has been, at times, a plot point covered in a few episodes of the show, where characters address the name of Carly, Sam, and Freddie's web show (iWill Date Freddie and iQuit iCarly).
