Do you like this name?

[caffeinebean]

My friend and her BF are having a baby girl and the name that they've picked is Salem Lynn Lastname.

I can't decide if I like it or not. Is it unique or youneek?

[speckledfrog]

I lived in MA too long to like Salem as a name for a little girl.

[meggers5]

It makes me think of witches and cats.

[Captain Serious]

I do not like it. Not only am I generally against naming children after places, the imagery that Salem brings up of the witch hunts is not what I'd want associated with my child.

[aprilsails]

It's interesting. And at least it's spelled correctly so I give them points for that. I can imagine she may get Sally as a familiar name.

[karmasabiotch]

NMS

[emsumm]

Not really. I have a friend with a daughter named Salem. Witches and stuff.

1. I don't like Salem. Slalom. Salami. Small. Smell.

2. Salem Lynn is awkward. Salamlynn

[luckyval]

I'm trashy and my mind went to Salem cigarettes.

I want to like the name, but I'm not sure I can

this is exactly what i thought, too.

[fuckyourcouch]

nope.

[circa1978]

Eh.

[Deleted]

it's kind of neat in theory, but in actuality it will mean a lot of witch jokes and probing questions about if the poor girl smokes and/or is related to anyone who was burned at the stake.

[anlo]

It sounds goth-y. Not my style but I've heard a lot worse.

No way. It sounds like they are obsessed with the North Shore of Massachusetts. How about going the whole hog and adding in some other towns?

Salem Lynn Gloucester

Salem Lynn Lawrence

Salem Lynn Peabody

This is what BF said when I told him.

[sara76]

I think it's fine but the first thing to come to mind is that's where they live in Days of Our Lives

[Deleted]

As soon as I read that, I immediately said Salem Witchcraft Trials.

[sparkythelawyer]

You know? I'm ok with that one.

This was my exact reaction.
Reminds me of the cat in Sabrina, too.

[walterismydog]

Salem is unique. I don't love it, but its unique. Saylym would be yooneek.

[mbcdefg]

I don't like it.

[Deleted]

I don't mind it, I actually kind of like it. Salem Lynn is ick, though.

[Deleted]

Not my style, but it's not my kid so whatever. Lol. Salem Lynn is a mouthful. Reminds me of salamander.

[underwaterrhymes]

I think I like it.
