Re: Salome usage (infamy)

ADOLF & JUDAS are perfectly good names, too. Cultures just vary on which historical figure they would associate with a given name, and the fame/infamy thereof. (And euphonic name cultures give more weight to namesakes than to actual meaning.)
JUDAS is just the Greek/New Testament form of JUDAH. That is the patriarch of the tribe that JESUS came from and the root of the term Jewish. Jesus and His disciples, obviously, didn't hate that name.
