Isla Soleil

[WSLTitanic1912]

What do you think to the girls name Isla Soleil?
Means Island Sun.
Surname is , so the people of mumsnet have said I can't really use Summer. As it would be Summer .

Thanks

Is there any particular reason to use a French word in the child's name? It's not even a French name, just a word., which is a bit weird imo.

Sounds like a sun protection cream!

Supermarket own-brand SPF. Sorry.

Also don’t think Isla goes with your surname- it’s not an easy surname to work with in fairness!

I’m sorry but Isla doesn’t go with Ball. I think you need a first name with at least 3 syllables. I knew a Barbara Ball which is a nicely balanced name. I’m not suggesting you use Barbara but just using that as an example.
Plenty of good longer names
Alexandra
Clementine
Serena
Etc

If you like lots of L's in your names how about Leilani Ball. Rolls off the tongue easily and it still has a sunny vibe - it means heavenly flower in Hawaiian. In fact some of the syllables sound the same - lei - Soleil and la - Isla

@Cindie943811A My son is Noah and that is only two syllables. So I don't agree

Sounds like the name of a Caribbean Cruise ship.

Not keen at all!

Ball is a tricky surname isn’t it! Isla really doesn’t go imho-too many ell sounds.

You can’t really have anything resembling an adjective can you...I was going to suggest Skye for a summery feel, or Indigo, but then it just looks like you’re talking about a blue ball

Sunna is Norse goddess of the sun

@daisypond You have reminded me of one of my favourite names- Sunniva - Viking name for gift from the sun. Always thought it was beautiful.

Juno? Freya?

Sounds like a cheap Benidorm hotel. Isla Ball isn't great either.

Sunscreen for sure and Isla Ball isn’t good either, sorry

No one outside of the immediate family will know her middle name anyway. It’s only ever used on paperwork really.
Isla Ball isn’t the nicest....but it’s your choice.
Scots & French do have the “auld alliance” I suppose.

Sounds like a drag queen.

I Ball? I'm not usually one who reaches for "ooh it sounds like" but you're proposing calling your daughter Eyeball.

Another vote for suncream

It makes me think Sunscreen too.

I think of Daisy as a summer name (you don't get daisies in winter)

Marisol is the only summery name I can think of

Soleil as in the French for sun? How are you pronouncing that? Do you speak French or have a connection with France otherwise it seems a bit random choosing a word out of another language and plonking it with Isla which is not French. You'll get a lot of mispronunciation and mis-spelling, as on this thread already.

If you wanted her name to mean Island Sun it would need to be Ile de Soleil

Honestly really random. What’s the thought process behind it?

I love that episode of Benidorm when they organise the Isla Soleil Ball As a special theme night but one of them gets drunk and ruins it, with hilarious results.

Ahh poop

It sounds like the next island to have a failed a theme park and an uncontrollable outbreak of Dinosaurs 🦕

Sounds like a cheap hotel
