Salacia Wdyt?

Replies

I remember about 3 years ago i suggested the same Salacia for one of my characters and it didn't go well. Looking back in retrospect i see why. I pronounced it differently than the average person would inside of my head, so j thought it was pretty, but not practical for a child. Id do Salacia Helen.
If it was two thousand years ago in Rome, I would find it quite lovely. I don’t like it in a modern day setting.
As a Roman name, it's fine. I wasn't aware of the word 'salacious', though, which somewhat lessens the name's appeal, but I like the history behind it.
Nonsense.
Terrible
maybe i just have a limited vocabulary bc i didnt think of the word salacious. i think it's pretty, and technically the Latin pronunciation is sa-LA-kee-a but most people probly wouldnt say it like that
Yeah, that’s not a very intuitive pronunciation.
salaciousMeaning lewd, off-color, overly sensational or smutty.
That came to my mind too
Apologies to anyone with this name, but it seems weird and gross somehow.
Definitely NOT, because of the word salacious. Unless maybe it's a character name for a prostitute, or an only fans pseud?
