Horrible name

Hey, I just remembered that one time I went on this baby names website and one of the top boys names was Schlomo, isn't that a horrible name?

Shlomo is a legit Hebrew name.

No, it isn't a horrible name. It's the original Hebrew version of Solomon. It's used in religious Jewish families.

I would never mean offense to the Jewish culture.. but to me Schlomo sounds like "Slo-mo" like 'Slow motion'. No disrespect.. I mean there's plenty of awful sounding American names as well.

I concur.

Personally, I think it's a terrible name... some traditional names around this area are just dreadful aswell.

i can totally appreciate that it's a name of heritage and whatnot, i just don't happen to find it aesthetically pleasing.

mhm.

It's awful indeed, but I've heard it a couple times.
