[Opinions] Re: Salome
Salome (I say, "sa-LO-may") has an exotic quality to it that I find intriguing. But there are two strikes against it as a fn, for me. One is the biblical story. I rail against Delilah and Jezebel so I should be consistent with Salome. Two, there aren't many female names with a stressed, long "o" sound that I like. (Salomea, "sal-uh-MAY-uh" is a recent love of mine).But I love a challenge. Finding the right mn for Salome won't be easy. A conventional mn like Catherine or Jane looks so silly next to it, given the biblical story. But something equally exotic might look like you are trying to hard. Hmmm. How about:Salome Lilia / Lilias
Salome Lilith (too "bad girl?")
Salome Ruby
Salome Garnet
Salome Pearl
Salome Violette
Salome Veronique
Salome Gisele
Salome Pascale
Salome Indira
Salome Tamar
Salome Tanith
Salome Valeria
Salome Damaris
Salome Isidora
Salome Amarantha (too exotic, perhaps?)
Salome Demetria
Salome Hesper (= setting sun)(too "out there?")
Salome Mirabel (= miracle)
Salome Isobel
Salome Ruxandra
Salome Roxanne
Salome Natalia
Salome TatianaCould any of these work for you? Good luck!
