It might have significance to you, there might be other towns named Salem other than Salem, Mass., Salem Mass. itself might presently be a charming quaint town, the fact remains that the main, obvious association for this name is the ghastly witch trial. I really don't get why people consider it as a name.
For me, it's little better than naming a child "Moscow Purge" or "Hollywood Blacklist".
If you REALLY want to use it I guess it's bearable as a mn, for a boy.
