Re: Salome, Sabbath and Odessa /names that feel Jewish but are not used by jews
in reply to a message by cassilda in carcosa
Odessa does have a Jewish-Russian feel to it, imo.
Are you using the American pronunciation of Salome - sa-loo-me? That's not how it's pronounced in most countries. It's sal-o-may. I've only heard sa-loo-me in Christian churches, all the Salomes I've meet (a few) prnounced it the second way.

Do you hear the "mee" ending in a particular region or denomination? (I know that's listed as the English pronunciation, but I'm curious because I've never heard it.)

That's the way my dad and my mom pronounce it, they're Baptist. i'll ask my husband how he pronounces it today.
