Sylvie or Juliet?

[SuperstarDJ]

DD2 due in a couple of months. Which of these 2 do you prefer? These are the current final two but are subject to change

Other names that I like but cannot use are Romilly, Merryn, Marnie, Cassia.

[NancyJoan]

I absolutely love them both, which is no help, but does mean either is a great choice. I really love Marnie too.

[Ikabod]

Sylvie. I think it's beautiful!

[Disfordarkchocolate]

Sylvie is my favourite but they are both lovely names.

[Quangot]

I prefer Juliet.

[Rainbowtrees]

Juliet is by far the nicest.

[PinkAvocado]

Juliet is lovely. Sylvie is ok at best.

[Snoopychildminder]

Sylvie is amazing

[BikeRunSki]

Juliet, but I like Sylvie too.

[Maireadd]

Sylvie!

Also love Merryn, what s shame you can’t use.

[sofato5miles]

Juliet.

[WaffleFroggy]

Sylvie! Juliet might end up being shortened to Julie which I really don't like. Sylvie is beautiful.

[SuperstarDJ]

Maireadd - I really love it too! The reason I can’t use it is because it’s DD1s name

[NancyJoan]

Jules is more likely as a shortening, I would think.

[SuperstarDJ]

Waffle - agree, I really don’t like Julie or Jules. Etta, Jet or Ette are nice nn potentials but I don’t really use nn’s so she would probably just get Juliet at home but I obviously can’t control any nn’s given at school etc

[AnyaMoondial]

Sylvie

[bridgetreilly]

Juliet.

I prefer Sylvia to Sylvie. Sylvie sounds a bit pretentious to me.

[NoGoodDeed]

Juliet. Sylvie sounds like a nickname for Sylvia

[motortroll]

Juliet top of my current imaginary baby list!

[SuperstarDJ]

Whilst I like Slyvie I really don’t like Slyvia although I know there is no logic to that

[wildewillow]

How about both? Sylvie Juliet sounds lovely

[fortyandfrumpy]

I have a Juliette. She gets called Juju at school . We don't usually shorten but it's Jules when we do.

[Citylivingwithdogs]

Juliet, lovely name, wish I had considered it actually. Sylvie, not keen as I really dislike Sylvia and it just sounds like a shorten version.

[Awrite]

Dc2 would have been Juliette if he were a girl. I love it!

I always have to think about which way the y and the l go round in Sylvie. Not keen as I don't like Sylvia at all.

[SuperstarDJ]

DH’s only concern about Sylvie is that on
first introductions we’ll be spending a lifetime correcting people that it’s Sylvie not Sylvia. Though I think Sylvie is much more commonly known as a name in its own right nowadays? Some people struggle to get their heads round DD1’s first name -
Don’t want to have to go through it again with DD2!

[yikesanotherbooboo]

Sylvia is pretty and much more current than Sylvia so I don't think many will call her the longer form. Even if they do occasionally is it a problem?
