If I ever have all girl triplets, I will name them Luna, Stella, and Soleil. (Moon, star, sun)

I love this name. How it sounds, the meaning, everything about it.

Would this make an attractive boys' middle name?

Reminds me of Cirque du Soleil. I like it. It's quirky.

I like this name for a boy, especially if (incorrectly, I believe) pronounced Sol-eel or Sol-ail.
Swangirl Says:
I know a darling little Soleil with blonde curls and big blue eyes... Her parents often call her "Sunny" :)

I know a Soleil and the name is gorgeous! Though in France, you wouldn't meet a Soleil on the street

We named our daughter Soleil. We love the name and so does she (She is 8 now). People have a hard time pronouncing it, so we just say, "Like Cirque Du Soleil", then they get it!

Yes I can read name info too :) But this is also a brand name or it's Venus Solelil.
Guest Says:
It's the French word for "sun".

I'm pretty sure this is a razor, and a circus..

I had a character on Animal Crossing named Soleil, and I always used to think it was So-leel

Isn't this a brand of razor?

I thought it was pronounced So-LEEL and loved it. I saw how it’s supposed to be said and my reaction was, ‘oh’ :( slightly disappointed
