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

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

Love it too, and the Nick name

lovelyjubilly · 10/07/2018 21:36

I looooooove Solomon but couldn't use it as it rhymes with our surname 😡

bionicnemonic · 10/07/2018 21:37

Fab name!

motherchuckinhen16 · 10/07/2018 21:38

Personally I wouldn't use it and don't like it but I don't know anyone with this name.

faloma · 10/07/2018 21:39

Love it!

Chuckle2 · 10/07/2018 21:39

Not keen sorry

Pottytoes · 10/07/2018 21:47

My first thought would be to ask if you were Jewish or had any connections with Judaism

Timpani · 10/07/2018 22:09

I know 2. One aged 10ish the other aged 4.

TatianaLarina · 10/07/2018 22:28

Sol is a good nn.

Heratnumber7 · 10/07/2018 22:37

As long as your surname isn't Mundy!!

Raines100 · 10/07/2018 22:38

Grundy!

MushroomMushroom · 10/07/2018 22:38

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

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

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

Cosmoa · 11/07/2018 04:51

I love 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.

eggofmantumbi · 11/07/2018 06:06

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

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!

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).

DryHeave · 11/07/2018 06:15

I know one. NN Solo.

MikeUniformMike · 11/07/2018 08:45

I like it.

Marcipex · 11/07/2018 09:18

I love it, and Sol.

JaneJeffer · 11/07/2018 09:31

Was he born on Monday?

autumnkate · 11/07/2018 11:38

I love it. Unusual, not weird. Love Sol too.
