If it's SOO-la, rhyming with Lula, then I guess it was also partly popular because of Susie. The etymology could be related to Ursula, Sulo, Sulev, súil*, Selah, Susie? But my main namey sound associations would be Sulla (the Roman), Suleyman and Tula / Toula. I think it reminds me of "Siúil a Rúin" also, but that'd be more like Shula, which I haven't really heard as a name.

Yeah, I could see it as a modern name. Why not. It even seems like it could be unisex to me. I think it fits in OK with Selah, Lola, Sole, Oona, Arlo, Luca, Remy, Soren.
