I actually really like the double-name Marie Soleil (https://www.behindthename.com/name/marie00soleil/submitted), which has seen some use in Quebec.

It's got huge pronunciation issues, and is masculine in French anyway. My uncle used to live in a house with a name: Beau Soleil! It was a very ordinary little suburban bungalow, not much garden, not much outlook ... perhaps he found it amusing, or impressive, because he always used the name together with the number.

I'd never use it or think of using it. But, from your mn list I like Frances, Diana, Miriam and Mirabel, and Eve. And, playing with the sound, they could work with Sally instead of Soleil:

---

Sally Frances
Diana Sally
Sally Miriam, or Miriam Sally
Sally Mirabel
Evelyn Sally, nn Eve

I like the sound and meaning, not so much the look.

Soleil Amara Pearl
Soleil Miriam Pearl
Soleil Esther Pearl
Soleil Eve
Soleil Antigone
Soleil Clementine Rose
Soleil Daphne Belle
Soleil Roxana Eve
Soleil Roxana Violet
Soleil Mirabel

Some are quite wordy and some even have contrary meanings within the combo!

Don't really like it

I really like it. It's technically a masculine noun, though, so it might seem a bit unfeminine to anyone who knows French. While I'm at it, I can kind of imagine it on a boy. In fact, I actually really like it for a boy as well as for a girl!
