What are your thoughts on Solomon? Do you know any?

I quite like Solly as a nickname, at least in childhood

I know a baby Solomon (not Jewish), but I'm not sure that I really like it.

SumAndSubstance · 12/07/2018 15:19

I like it. I’ve taught a couple over the years.

I know an extremely cool 14 year old called Solomon aka Sol. Love it

blinkineckmum · 11/07/2018 23:35

Sounds like solemn, and religious.

Hippopotas · 11/07/2018 19:39

I like it 😀

DiegoMadonna · 11/07/2018 16:57

I like it. Personally would use the full name, but Sol is an ok shortening too.

Not a fany of Solly. Sounds silly.

lemonnmeringuepie · 11/07/2018 16:37

Love it x

ladycarlotta · 11/07/2018 16:36

Lovely! And Sol is a good nn. I wish DP would be up for anything so Old Testament.

I love it, and Sol.

MikeUniformMike · 11/07/2018 08:45

I like it.

DryHeave · 11/07/2018 06:15

I know one. NN Solo.

ProseccoPoppy · 11/07/2018 06:12

I don’t know any Solomons - but if you do go for it there is a lovely children’s book called Solomon Crocodile that you could get for him (it’s one of DD’s favourites). www.amazon.co.uk/Solomon-Crocodile-Catherine-Rayner/dp/0230750222?tag=mumsnetforum-21

Solly as a nickname reminds me of Monsters Inc. (which isn’t a bad connection tbh).

lolalotta · 11/07/2018 06:09

I don't like how it sounds like "solemn", makes me think the child would be a sad serious sort of boy!

eggofmantumbi · 11/07/2018 06:06

Taught one, he'd be about 16 now. Nickname Sol. I like it

Florrieboo · 11/07/2018 06:00

My son is Saul and his new school thought his full name was Solomon, I don't mind it actually.

Cosmoa · 11/07/2018 04:51

I love it!

NordicNobody · 11/07/2018 00:56

My cousins son is called Solomon nn Sol. His brother is Theodore. I love it.

YoucancallmeVal · 10/07/2018 23:10

Have a few in my family tree but they were Romany.

MushroomMushroom · 10/07/2018 22:38

It's sweet but just reminds me of the film The Hand that rocks the cradle

Raines100 · 10/07/2018 22:38

Grundy!
