I'd say considering the fact that he named one Argento, which is definitely taken from Argentum, it's safe to say his daughter's name was taken from Aurum, and probably not the french version. Especially since Auro does sound better than Oro, imo. The katakana for Oro and Auro is the same, too...so it's definitely a tossup. ^^

On the subject of Noir Soldier...if it was Soldat it would've had a "t" in the romanization of ノワール・ソルダ  but it doesn't, so I think it's simply a matter of him combining "Noir" with an english word.

It's definitely meant to be "Noir", though...because it's done in katakana. The actual "release" for the word was 【職業・ 魔喰の戦士ノワールソルダ】  with the ノワール・ソルダ  in "Ruby" (i.e. it's over top of the kanji, meaning that's how it should be pronounced even though the kanji means something along the lines of Job: Demon Eating Soldier.

For that reason, since there's no katakana containing a "t" in it at the end of ノワール・ソルダ, which converts to "nowaru soruda" or "Noir Soldier", I think it should stay the same in this case. There's really not room for interpretation on the account of it being "Soldat" or "Soldier", imo. If it was Soldat it would be more along the lines of "ソルダット" instead.

Of course, I'm sure that'll irk some people...but I think this is probably what happens when the author combines multiple languages like this. We definitely don't want to use "Black Soldier" in case there's a job like that in the future, though.
