Salome

[Sastra]

Have just come across this again and I think I might love it! Would be a second name.

Wadaya reckon?!

Too much like salami for me
Plus the connotations would put me off personally.

Oh, see I would pronounce it SAL-o-may...

Salomé was all about the seduction and the sexy dancing wasn't she?

She features strongly (and beautifully) in art, opera and literature. I'm just not sure. . . .

I'm not saying don't do it but it's a bit of a gamble as it's a name with very strong connotations that your little Salomé may not share.

Just noticed you said second name.

In that case go for it!

I just picture a head on a plate.

Those were the connotations I meant Minipie perfect for a Halloween baby though?

My grandfather had a tortoise called Salome, but I don't expect many people will have a reptilian association with the name.

I think for a second (middle) name it's actually pretty cool.

She is due right around hallowe'en

I'm fine with the john the baptist thing (would make things interesting if we tried to get her into an RC school) and I guess I like the idea of strong femininity (even if it went a little far!).

Let's see what DH says

DH thinks it might be a bit much with the first name. He's pondering.

The story is creepy - seducing her stepfather? Bleurgh. And however it's supposed to be pronounced, she'll definitely get Salami from a lot of people. Sorry. I think it's awful. If you are after a Biblical name, there's a lot of strong women in there. How about Esther, Judith or even Magdalene?

God no, I don't want a biblical name in particular! I just like the sound of it really.

It is a lovely sounding name, but it conjures up too much strumpety imagery for me.

Ok then is it the Sal bit or the fact that it has a nice strong non-missish ending? we can work with that!

The last bit of what you said :o

Hit me with 'em lis!

I think I like the classical but unusualness of it. Chosen first name falls into this category, so many I'm just being greedy!

"Greed is good"

I'd avoid it because of the Bible story about Salome.

I think it's a very pretty name too.
How about Naomi or Thalia?

First name's Tabitha, so might be a bit much!

It is rather nice,but the head on a plate spoils it....

U2!
