What about Juliette?

And is it seen as posh, or common, or ordinary? Thanks

I love it. My fantasy girl twins would be called Josephine and Juliet. I'd probably chose that spelling though. Seems neater.

It'll be misspelt a fair bit. I love Juliet, though.

It's OK, but I prefer the spelling & pronunciation of Juliet. Juliette is a bit frilly for me, tbh.

I think it's lovely, it floated about for a while when we were considering names for dd3, but yes you've guessed it - Grin I prefer the spelling Juliet

Juliet is slightly better but both versions are a bit fanciful.

Love it. And I like the ette spelling better than the et - but then I do like frilly!

I don't think it's overly posh. Fairly normal I'd say. But quite uncommon

Beautiful (but spelled Juliet, for me).

It's very pretty, and I like your spelling of it.

I think it's more middle to posh, not really common.

Lovely name IMO but prefer Juliet spelling.

Bravo!

Sorry. It's ok, not mad keen.

I like it. Either spelling is fine.

If I had another girl, she would have been Juliet.

It's neither posh nor common, just a normal name. I like it but would also spell it Juliet.

I like it too! Either spelling seems fine. I knew one who went by Jools.

I know of 2. One adult (30s)
One pre-teen (11/12?)

I went to school with a third.

Pretty name.

I think it's a lovely name. I have a relative and a friend with the name. It's a timeless classic.

Bootiful

I love it and have it on my list for this DC. Like both spellings, probably prefer "ette" but it would always be misspelled.

It's lovely

Love Juliet. And it's hardly used at all which I think is baffling.

My twin girls would be Jean and Juliet. Prefer that less 'fru-fru' spelling.

I think the spelling Juliette spoils it a bit, bit Juliet is pretty.

Very pretty. Could suit anyone. Prefer Juliet.

IsadoraQuagmire · 06/10/2015 14:24

I like either version (I'm a fan of Juliette Lewis, so that spelling makes me think of her)
I think i've only ever met one (spelled Juliet)
