This would sound odd to any French speaker.

« Salut, mon ami! Ça va? »
Oh, come on! English is my first language, but I've taken 4 years of high school French, and this is a RIDICULOUS thing to name a person, whether you're French, Spanish, or Catalan, *anything*! I wouldn't even name a pet this. Even if you aren't Irish, naming a person Sláinte is just as ridiculous! Next thing you know, "Cheers" won't just be a bar on Beacon Hill.

This name is ugly and sounds like the word "slut", which of course the girl will be called in an English-speaking state.

To Bananarama: it doesn't. Senko's provided the correct pronunciation.
But you're right in another way: anglophone bearers of this name are indeed going to have a lot of pronunciation correction to do throughout their lives, and it will be vexing.

I'm just cracking up here! "Salut" is a person's NAME? Isn't it. This is very funny! I can't imagine anyone with this name. It would be odd if this person speaks Romanian or French. Salut, Salut!

Very professional sounding, in my opinion. I pronounce it Sah-loot.
