What do you think of this name please?

I’ve got baby name fatigue. DC2 will be here next week and we’re no closer to a name!

Gorgeous.

DS has a friend called Sol. He’s so cool.

I love this name even though it reminds me of The Hand that Rocks the Cradle (film!).

TheDailyMailIsADisgustingRag · 15/01/2018 16:32

Thanks all!

I remember that film @lily! Who was Solomon? The dad? I remember the creepy nanny.

Not that keen on Solomon, but love Sol!

Do you think it would be a stretch too far to shorten to sonny?

I think he was the gardener who was wrongly accused.

I like it. Sonny would be ok. Sol would be more obvious though.

I love Solomon. It never appeared on my radar really until a friend had it on their list a few years ago and I thought it was a great name. She ended up having a girl so it was never used.

My little ones middle name is Solomon. I adore it. Have met a few sols too and I think it’s a great name.

mondler · 15/01/2018 19:22

I think it's lovely. I don't know any!

Fekko · 15/01/2018 19:23

I’d think you were religious types. It’s quite a serious sounding name.

DramaAlpaca · 15/01/2018 19:25

I also see it as a very religious name & I don't like it much. I do like Sol though.

Alphvet · 15/01/2018 19:29

I’ve taught a handful. They seem to end up as Sol

TeenTimesTwo · 15/01/2018 19:29

My reactions were

  • nice name
  • Jewish
  • wise

I love it. My DS2 is Solomon. Solly for short.
Strong boys name. Perfect.

MrsTiggyWinkle3 · 15/01/2018 22:37

I didn't like it when I first read your post, but I think it could be a really cool name. I love 'Sol'.

WanderlustHenpeck · 15/01/2018 22:41

Solly is a great nickname!!

I did think Jewish but I don't think that matters too much.

SavageBeauty73 · 15/01/2018 22:43

My son is Sol.

Ragusa · 15/01/2018 23:18

Lovely. Who cares if it has religious connotations? Most names do. No one ever says, ooh, Joe/ Matt/Mark/Luke, bit... Christian

Buntysoven · 15/01/2018 23:41

My friend has an 11 year old Solomon. He's funny,kind, smart and cool...and devastatingly handsome! What's not to love?
