What are your thoughts on Julianne, Juliet, Julia or Julie? Which do you prefer? (nn Jules).

Julie is quite dated, maybe Julia too, actually.

The first two are pretty and probably due a revival.

But Juliet is by far the best Smile

Julianne or Juliet. The last two are yes, dated and not in a good way.

I love Juliet but am seeing them starting to come into schools, so no.
Julianne is lovely.
Julie, Julia are fine but nothing exciting about either.

Juliet was on my list but I was going to spell it Juliette. I just don't like Julie/Jools as a nn.

Julia is in top 100 names now I think which I was quite surprised about as I only know one who is 35(!)

I like Julia, of those.

It sounds happy.

Julie is dated IMO. Julia and Julianne are quite pretty. But Juliet is gorgeous! Love it

Julie is my least loved of those.
As a pp suggested, does Julianna or Juliana appeal to you?

That's not so bad, this time. I've heard really horrible things about my name on MN before.

I've told DC that if they want to name a grand-child after me, that I like Julia best. And absolutely not Juliet .

My name's dated too IamaJulie. But I'm guessing our names match our vintage Smile

Oh hard decision. On a level of personal opinion. I'm not that fussed on Juliet, but there's no denying its a beautiful classy elegant name. I think I would go for Julia. It's so refreshing to see all the old names come back

Juliet is nicest.

Julia has seen a huge surge near me because of it being used in the Polish community.
