I am expecting baby #3 in a couple of weeks. My husband has his heart set on the name Solo (its a girl). I like it but I need some kind of opinion on it. I know its different and not everyone will like it…but is it totally crazy???
I don’t think it’s totally crazy, but I do think it’s a bit odd (not in a good way imo). I feel like it would a pretty obvious teasing thing, as well. I’m really sorry to burst your bubble but I don’t think it’s quite right for a little girl. Middle name maybe?
Sorry, I think its awful.
[name]Sailor[/name]? [name]Sawyer[/name]?
I cannot really see Solo on a girl…all I can think about are:
- Solo reminds me of the [name]Red[/name] Solo Cups.
- [name]Red[/name] Solo Cups by [name]Toby[/name] [name]Keith[/name].
- My middle school bus driver who was in his 30’s, who loved classical cars.
- Solo means alone.
If you and your husband are [name]Star[/name] Wars fans, then it’s kinda cool. If you aren’t it’s just a little random. I don’t see anything wrong with it aesthetically, and I trend to see solo a someone who is independent rather than alone so I don’t see the meaning as an issue. I kinda like it! Although I do think it’d fit better as a middle name.
Um, yes. Honestly…it’s awful.
Not my cup of tea to be frank. I automatically think of the Solo Soft Drink. [name]Reading[/name] above, I agree with googoogixie’s assessment of the [name]Star[/name] Wars connection but I will say that being ‘solo’ is not a bad thing, it reminds me of being independent and marching to their own beat.
After [name]Hope[/name] Solo?
I love girls’ names that end in o, but I don’t really think that this one works. If you Google “solo cup” you’ll see that those red cups typically used for whatever alcoholic beverage they’re serving at high school or college parties are called that. That was one of my first thoughts. Kind of an awkward association for a name.
We watched [name]Star[/name] Wars episode 1 (now 4) last night, so of course I immediately thought of [name]Hans[/name] Solo -and he’s a really rude dude in that movie! But the #1 reason I wouldn’t use Solo as a little girl’s name is that is means “single, unaccompanied, alone”. It sounds like you’re dooming her to the single life.
#2 reason: Solo sounds like “so low” -I’m sure many jokes will be made on the playground with that
#3: it’s a cell phone company
#4: the Solo cup, the comic books, the movie…
Google the word and you will see it’s quite the popular word to use for a variety of products. You could be accused of objectifying your daughter.
[name]How[/name] about: [name]Shiloh[/name], meaning “tranquil”
[name]Flora[/name] nn [name]Flo[/name]
[name]Consuelo[/name] or [name]Constance[/name] nn [name]Coco[/name]
Perhaps [name]Salem[/name], [name]Salome[/name], or Saro could be alternatives?
I think of read party cups & being all alone…and [name]Star[/name] Wars. Personally I wouldn’t want a name that evokes any of that, would you?
[name]Harlow[/name]
[name]Marlowe[/name]
Mardou
[name]Arlo[/name]
[name]Bardot[/name]
[name]Peridot[/name]
[name]Clio[/name]
[name]Cleo[/name]
[name]Solange[/name]
[name]Soleil[/name]
[name]Sula[/name]
Eh…I think of Hope Solo first, so not a bad thing, but if youre not 100% sure about it, I might consider looking for a name that lends itself to the nickname Solo. That way your husband can call her Solo, but she has a full name to fall back on for school, career, to avoid the solo cup thing.
Solana
Solange
Salome
Soloma
Solina
Even something like Sonia, Sophie, or Sondra I think could get Solo as a nickname. Sonata is nouny and musical too, could lend itself to Solo? Ive always found it very beautiful and underused.
Aria I suppose has a similar meaning while being a bit (or a lot) more mainstream?
I immediately think of [name]Unique[/name], and that’s not a good sign.
