Help[Opinions] Re: Salome
in reply to a message by Orsino
It's usable to me. I've always been drawn to it's exotic air. The only down side that I see is the pronunciation.
My ears prefer, "SAL-uh-may," but I've come to the conclusion that "sah-LO-may" is closer to the original Shalom. So I've settled on the latter. But it could be an issue for others.
You might also like Salomea, "-MAY-uh."

Ditto ... I said it SAL-o-may to myself for as long as I've known the name existed, until I saw the prn on this site. What a disappointment.
Forvo.com has 3 different language pronunciations and 2 of them sound like SAL-o-may to me. The English one is, and 3 people voted it good. So I wonder. Maybe one could use it and pronounce it like that.
I don't think the legend makes it unusable at all - only the Sa-LOW-may prn. makes it virtually unusable.

I have the same sound preference for SAL-oh-may but have reached the same conclusion about sah-LO-may, which I find a very unfortunate prn indeed, for the very "salami" reason others have noted.
Barring the issue of prn -- which, admittedly, is a totally huge issue -- I think it's perfectly usable, though I would only use it as a mn.
