It looks like Colon to me, but looks like it would be pronounce Salon. Just overall not very appealing to me.

Solon is a commonly used noun generally meaning "statesman" or "pundit" ... this should give you some idea of the images it conjures:

Synonyms: auger, bookworm, brain, cereb, cognoscenti, egghead, expert, grind, grub, guru, intellectual, ivory dome, learned man, maestro, maven, pencil geek, philosopher, prof, savant, scholar, solon, spider, teach, thinker, tool

And as you can see it is coded "old man" ("ivory dome"). Definitely not a good name for a woman. LOL I think I've heard "solons" used to facetiously refer to the members of the US Senate.

Not feminine at all to me, I'm afraid--I think Solon is realy cool for a boy, though I personally prefer Solomon. I love the nickname Sol for either sex (for Solomon or Solveig, and I'd say it ZAHL either way--I don't like SOLE as well). It could stand on its own as a first name, but it's not one I'd choose.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

I really like Solon, for a boy only though. It just doesn't seem all that feminine to me. I think it's a cute nn for Solomon, but that's beside the point. It could work as a first name or middle name on a boy. Sol is alright for a girl I suppose but it just seems like a nickname.
