I met a girl through my boarding school program named Solace. I was so surprised by her name that I asked her to repeat and spell it, before realizing that it was basically like the word. Solace: comfort or consolation in a time of distress or sadness.
You guys like it?
I love Solace! It is one of my ultimate GPs. My mom has a student in her class named Solace this year and I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the name (and the girl is a cutie ;)).
The weirdest part was, she was a first generation [name_u]West[/name_u] African-American (like myself) and [name_u]West[/name_u] Africans tend to stick with classics like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]. And here I thought my name ([name_u]Skylar[/name_u]) was daring for an African!
I used it in a novel. I have a thing for virtue names anyway and it feels like a modern take on that. I liked Solitaire when I was younger but it seems too tied to the card game now, plus the meaning is far less appealing.
