I honestly read that as Salmon so that might be a problem! I wonder if Solomon “Sal” would work somehow.

I think so.I keep hearing Sal in my head and thinking Jewish.I wonder if I came across it as a nickname when I was reading PG Wodehouse. I might also have been reading Evelyn Waugh, not sure. I know it was in the similar time period, and I know the character was Jewish.

I think Sylvester is commonly used for Sal.

I can’t decide how I feel about Sylvester. I’ll mull it over.

I think one of the first times I really paid attention to Sal, it was on one of those guys who do that prank show... Impractical Jokers? And for some reason I assumed it was a Jewish name until I checked online. I've read some Wodehouse and Waugh too so I wonder if we both picked it up from the same place?

Perhaps. There is another book that I'm thinking of, it was a popular historical novel from the 1980s. (I took a class in the early 2000s and a woman was cleaning out her house. She passed on a lot of her books to me, they were all from the 1980s and 1980s. Susan Isaacs & Judith Krantz) and I'm fairly sure there is a character in it named Sal.I need to remember more details to get the name of the book. I really need to remember to use my GoodReads account!

Oh that’s definitely not a book I’ll know! If you do start using your goodreads again, feel free to DM me and we can be friends on there!
