I really like this name. DH thinks it's a bit too 'out there'. I'm after opinions on what other people think before I try and convince him otherwise.

I love it.

It's not top 300 and I've only met one child with the name (several adults) but I still wouldn't call it 'out there'

I have no idea why it's not more popular, I think it's much prettier than Julia.

Actually prefer the spelling Juliette but realise that's a bit fancy for many people's tastes.

Lovely name! I wouldn't say it was "out there", it's a perfectly normal name, just underused at the moment.

I think it's lovely, not too popular but certainly not ridiculously unusual.

Agree not "out there" at all - lovely classic name. It's DD's middle name

Not 'out there' at all although men can be more conservative when it comes to picking names. I am surprised to hear it's outside of the top 300. Lovely and pretty and under used. And it's certainly got literary credentials Smile

How on earth is Juliet 'out there'? Is your other half one of the Charlotte/Emily/Sophie brigade?

I like it - but then I would because it's my daughter's name.

Love it, not out anywhere as far as I can see.

It's on our shortlist - not so keen on the potential nns though. I would spell it Juliet, too.

I've just put this back on my list after your thread reminded me! I adore it. Classic and under-used, but not remotely crazy imho.

If you already have a son named "Romeo", I'd avoid.

Otherwise, I think it's a lovely name. It's certainly not weird or "out there". Juliette is the French spelling - I prefer the normal one.
