Help[Opinions] Sole (f)
Hi !!!
In 2017 Sole was the biggest jumper among the popular names for newborns. It was #152 out of 200 and was a new entry.
It means "sun" in Italian and it is used for girls (although it is grammatically masculine).
WDYTO it? Do you agree with the feminine gender?
What do you think of it compared to Sol, Soleil, Sunniva, Sorin, Helios or others names meaning "sun"?

Definitely 100% would not work in English. Fish and feet.

Out of all the sun names I know, the only one I can face is Eloise. Which is also the least obvious - not sure if that's important.
Sole is fine in Italian! But in English, where we assume a final -e is silent, it's hilariously fishy.

We use the word sogliola (SO-lyo-la) for that fish.

I suppose the spelling could be tweaked: Sohlay, maybe? Doesn't look attractive to me, but someone out there will love it.

Sole has a pretty sound, but I think that in English speaking countries it would be a problem unless there was an accent on the "e." A "sole" is the bottom part of a shoe. But the meaning is cute and I see it more of a feminine name.
Compared with others:
Sol- Will always be a short form of Solomon to me and I don't immediately associate it with the sun.
Soleil- I think this is the most intuitive for English speakers and it is pronounced the same as your Sole. The word itself is French but many English speakers know how it is pronounced due to Cirque du Soleil.
Sunniva- Pretty, but not my style.
Sorin- I like this name a lot, but I am reminded too much of the word "soaring."
Helios- Nice sound, still not my style.
Names meaning sun that I prefer:
Aelius
Elanor
Eloise
Hina
Marisol
Ravi
Solveig
