Help[Opinions] Re: Salome
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
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.
