Sorry if you're a fan, but it reminds me of salami. I'm not big on it otherwise, as I generally don't like names ending with an 'omi' sound, although I've heard it pronounced "SAH-lo-may", and I prefer that.
I like it, I like most Hebrew/biblical names, the meaning is great. I know a Salome who pronounces it SAL-oh-may. A good nickname would be Sally. My only misgiving is that it reminds me of salmon….
I had a co-worker named Salome, she pronounced it as sa-lom. Never heard of it before, it's quite a beautiful name! A bit tricky to get the hang of at first but still wonderful.
This is my favourite girl's name ever. I would name a daughter Salome, but not after the one who got John the Baptist beheaded, rather the other biblical Salome (the one who discovered Jesus's tomb). It is a biblical name so it's very old and timeless. I can picture a person named Salome being of any age from 8 days to 80 years.
The name Salome is ugly and disgusting in my opinion. I really hate this name. It's not pretty sounding. There would also be a lot of mispronunciations to come across for a bearer of this name. As you can tell, I'd never use this name.

Just to add to my comment: The biblical character princess Salome ticks me off. I can't help but think about the story of the death of John the Baptist. And that painting of her holding his head... *shudders*

The name Salome was given to 77 baby girls born in the US in 2012.
I love this name. It has a beautiful sound to it. However, some people wouldn't be able to use it because of the biblical Salome, who was little more than a slut.
