I associate it as a second-gen urban-hippie name from the 80s/90s... Probably just something about the context of when I first heard it?
Not pretentious. My impression is like
Sierra,
Ciara,
Raven,
India,
Janae,
Jade,
Jazmine,
Monet,
Selena,
Asia,
Destiny. Also I think it would fit in with newer usage names like
Alizee,
Zara,
Azalea,
Juniper,
Topaz,
Ireland,
Ember. I like a lot of names in that style, and
Soleil is one of them, although it's not a favorite.
