Solon is a commonly used noun generally meaning "statesman" or "pundit" ... this should give you some idea of the images it conjures:
Synonyms: auger, bookworm, brain, cereb, cognoscenti, egghead, expert, grind, grub, guru, intellectual, ivory dome, learned man, maestro, maven, pencil geek, philosopher, prof, savant, scholar, solon, spider, teach, thinker, tool

And as you can see it is coded "old man" ("ivory dome"). Definitely not a good name for a woman. LOL I think I've heard "solons" used to facetiously refer to the members of the US Senate.
