Comments for SOLEIL:
This isn't used as a name in France, and moreover it is masculine.-- Miss Claire 4/26/2005
Actress Soleil Moon Frye is a bearer of this name.-- Ayame77 11/11/2005
Could be used as an alternative to Sol or Solon.-- Anonymous User 9/10/2006
There is the Cirque du Soleil which translates to Circus of the Sun.-- Anonymous User 1/1/2007
The only way I could ever be convinced to name my kid Soleil is if they were born at a Cirque de Soleil show. Awesome name though.-- Anonymous User 3/16/2008
Soliel - German spelling of French "Soleil".-- dOMITUPSYK 3/21/2008
The German spelling for "Soleil" is "Sonne". Both mean, in English, "sun." If anyone, anywhere has used the spelling Soliel instead, it is incorrect. (Unless Soliel is its own name in and of itself, which I don't believe it is.)
Also, Soleil is pronounced "so LAY."-- my_name_isobel 6/14/2009
It sounds weird to anyone who speaks or understands French. I only took French for three years, and this definitely appears like a weird name, sort of like a hippie name with a foreign twist.-- slight night shiver 5/7/2008
What a beautiful, unforgettable name!-- IronTears 6/9/2008
Ah, qu'est-ce qu'est arrivé. That means "what happened here?"
The word "Soleil" is grammatically masculine, and should not, therefore, be used as a feminine name, as it never would be in an actual French-speaking country. That being said, the old English word for sun, sonne is grammatically feminine. Odd, is it not? Also, the old English word for moon, mona, was masculine. Wonders never cease, I suppose.-- Bastien Rosier 6/14/2008
Hello? Has everyone forgotten about what ruined this name? Soleil IS A SHAVING COMPANY. Don't forget that you will almost be naming your child after a shaving company if you have forgotten.-- Dragon_Clarinet 7/17/2008
I adore this on a boy, Soleil looks so masculine to me.-- tigerlilly 8/24/2008
If I didn't know how to speak French, I'd think this name was pronounced "So-leel."-- GunsnRoses8794 11/24/2008
Soleil is horrid on a female, but pretty cool on a guy. It sounds and looks WAY too masculine to be used on a girl.-- Anonymous User 1/16/2009
Oh, brother. Pseudo-French names don't reflect very well, and the French are probably laughing at them. Since this is technically a masculine word, it sounds bad on a girl.-- bananarama 3/22/2009
I wouldn't use this name as a first name, but wouldn't the name Luna Soleil sound cool?! Lune means moon in French.-- Liesl 8/18/2010
I'm kind of surprised at the numerous negative comments surrounding Soleil. Then again, maybe it's because I'm American and numerous words have been turned into names over here that *shouldn't* be names (Cherish, Precious, Honor/Honour, Piety, Treasure, etc.), that Soleil isn't bad at all. I am also currently in my fifth year of studying the French language, and do agree that Soleil has some masculine qualities, and wouldn't use it as a first name. (I think it should be listed on this site as unisex.) However, I think Soleil has a lot of charm in the middle name spot, or in the second slot of a hyphenated name.-- erb816 10/29/2010
I love the name Soleil. I don't care if it's a word, because I'm a fan of SOME word names. I don't even care if the word is masculine. I agree with one of the above users. Luna Soleil sounds amazing for a character. A real baby? Not so much. But an amazing character in a story.-- Book_Reader22 4/5/2011
