I picture the name Sal on a tough guy who has jet-black hair that's slicked back.

I like the name Sal on it's own (Though Salvatore is nice) Sal on its own even as a nickname, sounds purely masculineEven Sal as a nickname for sally or any other is male.

Famous bearer is American actor Sal Mineo (January 10, 1939-February 12, 1976), whose full name was Salvatore (his father was Sicilian).
In the 1992 film "Jersey Girl," the leading male character is Sal Tommei-- inspiringly portrayed by American actor Dylan McDermott; opposite talented Jami Gertz, as Toby Mastallone.
In Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech (one of my favorite books), the main character is called Sal. (Actually, her full name is Salamanca, but everyone except her grandparents call her Sal.)
