At the mo our favourite name for a girl is Juliet/Juliette. I love it as it's not too popular/ too cool/ too unique and so pretty!

Just wondered what your favourite spelling was and also what you thought of the name?

Juliet

Love both spellings.

U don't need to add the extra letters.

Love Juliet.

Love Juliet/Juliette

I much prefer the spelling Juliet. Simple and elegant.

I think the 'ette' frillies the name unnecessarily in the same way as Isabel/Isabelle or Annabel/Annabelle.

Juliette (very pretty)

Juliet so pretty and simple, the extra letters are not needed and spoil it(she will also have to spend her life correcting people on spelling)

Juliet. So simple and beautiful.

Love it, particularly spelt Juliette. It just looks prettier to me!

Juliet. -tte is gilding the lily IMO.

LoopyLoopsHasComeBackBrighter · 24/01/2011 21:36

I prefer -tte.

Pterosaur · 24/01/2011 21:12

I like the simplicity of Juliet, and if it's good enough for Shakespeare, etc.

Pretty name, either way.

Gorgeous name :) I like both spellings but prefer Juliet (can't see any reason to add the extra letters really!)
