My daughters are called Ella Jade and Lucy Mae.
I think girls can get away with unusual names, but it's a bit of a different story for boys. I liked Freddie for a boy, and if he grew up to be a hunk then that would be ok! but depending on how they grow up and what personalities they have then a different/unusual name might cause problems!
My middle name is Yasmine, and I hated it as a child....I was lucky though, my dad wanted it to be my first name!

Hubby wants to name our son after Luke Skywalker... luckily he is compromising to drop the skywalker bit!!
I went to school with Wayne Kerr
Have a cousin called Shaun Dickie
Dated a guy with the last name McCracken - always used to get asked if he had a brother called Phil![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
How come all the names I like are now on the popular list - I have what once was an unusual name (Chanelle) and don't want our kids to be one of 4 Lily/Olivia/Amy (no
offense to anyone
as I actually love all these names) in their class, along side the Jack, Harry and Josh....
I think you should go for Zolar - although are you concerned people will go for a soft z and call him Solar?? Your last name isn't Panel I hope
