I love this name it sounds so mature, shame it's not much of a Christian name. I wish it was used more often especially with Christians, it's also the name of a martyr in Spain so that makes it more interesting.

I hesitate to use this name because Solomon was controversial with his harem of foreign wives and not observing many of the Jewish laws of the time. However, then I remember King David committed adultery and murder to cover it up, yet that didn't permanently taint the name David. So I think Solomon is actually a very usable name after all. Saul, on the other hand... maybe not so much.

I always thought it was pronounced SOL-ǝ-mǝn. No, it's pronounced SAWL/SAHL-ǝ-mǝn.

Solomon Tozer was the Sergeant of the Marines on HMS Terror on Franklin's lost expedition of 1845. A sword said by an Inuit man to have belonged to a "great officer" from the expedition was recovered in 1857 - it has been suggested that this most likely belonged to Tozer. He was portrayed by David Walmsley in the 2018 series The Terror.

Solomon is a nice, strong, handsome, classic name. :) It seems quite underused compared to other religious names. I've never met a Solomon so the name seems fresh to me.

For some reason this name makes me think of a bald guy. It doesn't have a very pleasant sound to it, it's rather harsh.

The biblical Solomon turned away from God because he had hundreds of pagan wives and ending up worshipping their gods instead of Jehovah.
However, he did many other things (good things) with his life- so I still like this name. Sol is a good nickname.

I find the name very handsome, but now that I think about it the only reason I think I really liked it for was, because of Solomon of blood+, I saw him as a very dashing, worthy man of his word. So if I had not seen it as a somewhat old time gentleman name I may not have ever liked it. But I like it now so I suppose I would most definitely recommend this name if you are into the civil war kind of gentleman name.

I like it. It reminds me of the line from The Fiddler on the Roof song "If I Were a Rich Man":
"The most important men in town would come to fawn on me!
They would ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the Wise."

I hate this as a first name. It sounds very surname-y to me, and quite pompous as a first name.

Solomon is the lead singer's name for Family Force 5. I like this name, but I never hear of lots of people with this name. That's great. It's one of those names that's only good on a few people. I hope people keep it that way.
