HelpRe: Opinions on baby name Soleil
in reply to a message by jonesilove
Soleil, Sol, Sole, Sunny are all rising in usage somewhere.
I don't find it pretentious, more kind of...camp? I prefer the straightforwardness of Sunny, but it's not just the language difference because I like Sol about as much as Sunny. I think I also prefer Solaris, Sola, and Solace...but not Sloan or Scarlet or Solstice for whatever that's worth. I guess it's about equal with Sole imo.
I remember liking Soleil back when I first joined BtN in 2006. I don't remember exactly why, but in retrospect, I think it was related to Cirque du Soleil's Beatles show being mentioned and me just thinking the word sounded good. I think I posted about it and eventually someone said something that convinced me I didn't like it. I associate it with other names I liked back then and don't so much anymore, so looking back at my teenage polls...
Lotus Aurelia
Mirabella Rain
Luna Melody
Lily Therese
Thisbe Avalon
Bellatrix Soleil (!) I'd forgotten I liked Bellatrix, yikes
Alora Caprice
It's a sparkly ephemeral fairy type name.
Some other names that seem kinda adjacent stylewise: Layla, Zola, Sylvie, Selene, Nova, Summer, Serenity, Skylar, Belle, Fleur, Reign, Eden, Wren, Saylor, Saoirse, Indigo, Indie, Cadence, Solange, Zendaya, Phoenix, Phaedra, Genesis, Juliet.
