Salome is used here in Brazil, after the woman who witnessed Jesus' crucifixion (as opposed to the woman who danced with the head of John the Baptist). I like it.

I can sort of see the appeal, but am not a huge fan. I can't get past the similarity to salami. Also, the Biblical association is rather gruesome. SAL-uh-may is a billion times nicer than suh-LO-mee, though.

Nice, cute looking with pronunciation ZAH-lo-meh (Salomé), but for me something too antiquated, of the same value to Sheherazade, Cleopatra or Nofretete.

I like Salomé Roxana, Salomé Keturah.
What about Salomé Paloma, Salomé Soraya or Salomé Marusha.

I like it, but I wouldn't use it. It seems to me that everyone automatically thinks of the bad namesake from the Bible. I know that there is also a nice Salome in the Bible but it seems like no one ever remembers her :P

In German it is pronounced ZAH-lo-mé (I use the é because it sounds more like a long EH sound and not like an actual AY) and in French sah-lo-MÉ (again with that long EH sound, not really an AY, it is hard to explain). I like both of these.

---

I dislike the English pronunciations, mainly because the final E is actually said like AY which sounds odd to me and the pronunciation that emphasizes the second syllable just makes me think of salami.

---

I love the meaning of Salome! But I dislike the fact that it sounds a bit weak to me. I can't even say why.

Salome Estella
Salome Eudora

---

-> these are really nice!

I would avoid:

---

Salome Cecilia - doesn't work for me
Salome Ingrid - this doesn't flow well, in my opinion.
