It’s a surname...
I can’t imagine it as a first name.

Hi !!!
I know both the Portuguese and Hogwarts namesakes which are negative.
However I love this name and how it sounds.

I love Harry potter and that's why I want to use it thanks for the comment

Why, of all the possible namesakes in Harry Potter, would you pick magical racist Salazar Slytherin?

I've never heard of him as a racist where did u hear this

It's literally his primary personality trait

The books, the movies, the wiki, the author herself…
He hated and mistrusted muggle-born students. He didn’t want to admit them to the school at all, much less into his house. He had a huge falling out with Godric Gryffindor and left the school over it. He was unapologetically fascist.
I’m starting to wonder if you’re intentionally trolling, because you’re consistently choosing controversial words and characters and claiming you knew nothing about them, even though a quick google search could have told you any of the negative points we’ve mentioned.

Portuguese dictator, not great:

(I’m guessing that’s why Rowlings picked the name for Slytherin?)

I also made the Slytherin connection!

Kind of looks like "salad tsar" to me, although that could just be my weird way of associating things.

I like that it has history and meaning, but its only use as a first name that I can think of is kind of negative, given that the Hogwarts founder was pseudo-fascist. Plus, Rowling herself has become a bit of a controversial figure lately.
If you’re looking for something rare and similarly imposing, what about
Erasmus
Ferdinand
Ixion
Leonidas
Spyridon
