I like Soleil, and I like Sol (Spanish, and also familiar as a name of the sun in English). Italian Sole is nice, too - t he only trouble is that in English it looks like the word sole meaning "only," or meaning the bottom part of a foot or shoe. People would have to always be taught how to say it with two syllables. Sole also reminds me of Solo, and its meaning of alone or solitude, more than it reminds me of the sun. But when it is spoken out loud I think it is as appealing as Soleil is, maybe more so. Sole and Sol have a genderless feeling to me, compared to Soleil which seems more feminine to me. As a trendy Italian word name it makes me think of the name Summer, which has been popular for girls here in the past few decades.
