Hmmm. The title in question is a Hebrew DVD (חדווה ושלומיק, an Israeli
TV series from 1971,
http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%97%D7%93%D7%95%D7%95%D7%94_%D7%95%D7%A9%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%A7),
where the name is clearly a forename.
Sounds like I should go with (u-)Shlomik. for the 245 and add
(u-)Shloymik. in a 246. Unless Zachary thinks the opposite?

How you romanize it depends on it's context, assuming it's derived from

Thus, from the FAQ
"The statement in HCM (p. 23) that "a distinctively Yiddish name
in a Hebrew context may be romanized as Yiddish" occurs in a
section headed "Hebrew personal names in Yiddish," and is intended to
refer only to forenames, as the example shows. LC does not romanize
*surnames* a la Yiddish unless they occur in Yiddish contexts, as the
next example on p. 23 (Rozenshteyn vs. Rozenshtain) shows."
So, Shlomik for a forename in any context, Shlomik for surname in a
Yiddish context, or Shelomik for a surname in a Hebrew context.
Shlomik vs. Shloymik. I guess that it's pronounced Shloymik (Zachary?)
following the pattern of Shoymeh and Moysheh, but I'd go with Shlomik
anyhow. I favor simpler romanization when there is no specific
prescription.

I think it's a derivative of Shelomoh, so should it be Shelomik.? Or,
because it's nickname, Shlomik.? (or Shloymik.?)
Please advise, thanks, Jasmin
