The name Solette

[lill72]

Anyone ever heard of it? Know origins? Like it for a girl?

I think it sounds like the brand name for a contraceptive pill. Sorry!

Yep. First thought is contraceptive.

How about Mirena? :-D

It's not a name, is it?

I know your baby will be the love of your life and unique to you, but please, please, give her a name which is a name.

No.

Is it supposed to mean little Sun?

It is a name, and means little sun. Is French I think.

Little sun in French is 'peu de soleil.'

Its the word for a single slice of processed chesse in Italy

I thought it sounded a bit sanitary protection like, sorry!

Oh no Rosa that is not good at all!!!

This is why I ask!!

it is a french name....for the sun canopy you attach to a caravan! not a person.
In Italian it is the word for insoles that you put in your shoes.

Oh my goodness - it gets worse!!! Thank goodness for Mumsnet!

My first thought was also 'contraceptive'. Sorry!

It is a definite no go!!!

Hadn't you googled it, OP?

Sorry, I thought of incontinence pads for some reason... Something to do with Sol... sounding like soil and ..ette sounding a bit like sanitary wear.

It's like a stripey porch tent I think....

Maybe not

Go with Colette instead, lill!

Yes I had googled it after I came across someone by this name on Facebook, but couldn't find anything on it relating to baby names.

Yeah I don't mind Colette, though for the ref to the bad rock star Colette in the 80's. Solette is def out that is for sure. thanks for your help!!!

How about Solange instead?

Hallo Mrs Snow?

I know a Solet, he is a man from Thailand.

I was also going to suggest Solange. Gorgeous name. Or if you like that sort of name, maybe Celeste or Sandrine?

Solange is lovely. Also like Simone and Soraya.
