I have a friend who's surname is Salazar.Grin

I don't think it works great as a first name but I definitely don't hate it.

It's better than Gentry.

It makes me think 'Slytherin' immediately, but is miles better than Gentry.

No! Name of a portuguese dictator!

MonsteraDeliciosa · 11/11/2021 00:03

I like it!

Houseofvelour · 11/11/2021 00:13

I'm not a fan at all.
Imagine when they're a spotty teenager working their first job in macdonalds at 17 and having Salazar on their name tag. Nope. It would just be embarrassing.

No. It makes me thing of Salamander for some reason.

Yes and no. Obvious non - UK background/heritage? And/or live in a big (multicultural) City? Then it could well be fine, but otherwise I'd consider if your son is likely to have the confidence to pull it off (as it's a very uncommon name - no records I can find of it being used for a UK born child, although they only record names used more than twice each year). Plus it might get shortened to "Sal/Sally", which could also be something to consider.

Like Slytherin? Not keen.

I don’t mind Salvatore though? I think that’s quite a nice name.
