I like it. I think it's androgynous, maybe leaning more masculine.

It's alright. I don't really like it because it's short, but I see the appeal. I know two girls named Sol.

I don't care for the sound of sol/sole/soul anyway. But Sol to me is a rather cliched name for an old Jewish man. Lots of kids' books I read when I was growing up featuring Jewish families seemed to have an old Uncle Sol.

I'd rather see Soleil or Solange on a girl.

I think it’s pretty, but I prefer it as a nickname.

Don't like it at all, too short and sounds incomplete and masculine

Or short for Solange? I'm not sure about peace and pine trees, but Sol = Sun is masculine to me; certainly in Latin, where the Moon is feminine.
I'd vastly prefer Sal, short for Sally, not that Sally needs a nn, but rather that than Sol.

I like it but I'd prefer something longer. Solana, Solara, Solina, Soleil, Soledad, etc.

It seems incomplete. I prefer Solene, Solana, Solara, Soleil, or Solange.

It also means 'salt' in Russian. As a Russian speaker who lives in a Slavic country (the main langauge in my city has a different word for salt, but still there are Russian speakers here), I personally wouldn't call my kid that. It also reminds me of Soledar, and that place was very bad. But I think if you live in a different part of the world there wouldn't be any problem with the name. The "sun" meaning I knew, and that's a nice meaning. The "peace" part, I didn't. Also, Jewish isn't a langauge, is it from Hebrew or Yiddish?
