I or Me??
When labeling a photograph in a picture album - of you and a friend, for example, would you say "Samantha and me" or "Samantha and I" or "Samantha and myself"?
Top answer
I'd go for 'me', not 'I'. Going back to definitions, you'd find 'me' is used as an object whereas 'I' is used as a subject. In your case since it is not a complete sentence it is hard to say whether we're dealing with a subject or object.

- In your case since it is not a complete sentence it is hard to say whether we're dealing with a subject or object.
- But it is likely that what you mean is "(This is a picture of) Samantha and me" with the first part obviously implied and not spoken/written ; in which case what we have here is indeed an object.
- Hope all this makes sense ?

I'd use me as well.
Definitely NOT myself (this does not mean me/I)
Definitely NOT myself (this does not mean me/I)

Well, actually, if we are following strictly grammar rules we'd have to say: "Samantha and I"...
However I don't think your friends are gonna blame you if you'll say: "Samantha and Me"

'Samantha and I' would be correct according to the so called rules of grammer and syntax but my experience is that it sounds toffy-nosed when used in general and 'Samantha and me' sounds far warmer and more personal

Just for clarification, mister/missis Question, this all depends on whether you meant to say :
"Samantha and I (were on the beach when this picture was taken)"
or
"(This is a picture of) Samantha and me (when we were on the beach)"
It seems natives (see above) would have a preference for number 2.

I would second Waiti.
What you would use would depend on the context. If someone asked "Whose pictures are these on the beach", you would say "Samantha and me" because it completes the sentence, this is a picture of Samantha and me on the beach.
If someone asked, who bro

Hello Questions
If the label is intended for you, you know who you are already. So you only need to put "Samantha".
If the label is intended for other people, on the other hand, neither "I" nor "me" will be much use.
So I'd put "Samantha and Questions". (If "Questions" is indeed your name.)
