Solstice "Sol", Cascade "Cassie", Radiance "Ray", and Nebula... Just Nebula.

I have a very long list of these names that would be good names if they weren't words. Some maybe could be, but others sound nice if you didn't know what they meant. These are just some of them.

I guess if we are talking about for the appealing sound, without any regard to the meaning, and being totally absurd is OK ...

I don't understand why nobody uses Starlit instead of Starlet. Starlet is kind of dumb as a name, imo, and Starlit is relatively neat. Moonlit would be possible too. NMS though.

Hart is one I think would be okay IRL.

The other day I was thinking how Regal would be a good name. Not for me personally, but I’m surprised it hasn’t caught on.

Perhaps,

A name that came to mind is a name from my family tree, Brite. It may have Swedish roots. So, it may not meet the criteria of your question so I'll spell it Bright. hahaha

Words that sound nice or seem like they have great associations? I have words for both.
Riot - sounds awesome, but gives the impression of violence.
Core - sounds like its short for something, like Corey, Corrine, Cora, etc.
Lore - same here. Lorraine, Laurence, Lorene, etc.
Nickel - because of its similarity to Nicholas.
Mistletoe - there are already so many plants as names, but Mistletoe might be too associated with Christmas and kissing.
Pale - like the bucket, not the skin tone - but there are plenty of names that mean "white", "black", "bleached", etc.
Linen - it reminds me of soft fabric. It could be fragile and pretty like... Fawn or Doe?
Crash - I just like the sound of it, I have no idea why. CRASH!
Mint - its an important plant, a pretty color and it could be short for Araminta.
Bold - like the name Brave or Bravery.
Boulder - sounding strong like Stone or Rocky.
Sorrow - It has a nice sound despite literally meaning sadness.
Tomorrow - it has a hopeful ring to it.
Marrow - The sound is nice but I don't want to think about bone juices...

Some character names I quite like:
Road
Gannet
Light
Cloud
Veracity
Howl
Rook

And others:
Euphoria
Clarion

Celesta

Celery and Piano if it had a different meaning
