What do you prefer from Madeliene, Nina, Juliette, Julianna or Valentina?

Thanks :)

I love Juliette & Valentina

Jennifer8787 · 29/11/2016 22:35

I love the name Julianna.
Tried to suggest this to my partner, along with Georgiana, but he wasn't game.

Juliette is the one I could best live with, if necessary. Must be said with a French accent though 😁

I loved Madeline (and the 54 various spellings of it), but sadly, to me, McCann always follows in my head and I see the picture of her 😔

Juliette and Nina are my favourites

ShowMeTheElf · 28/11/2016 13:44

Are you French?
I think that without a French accent Juliette (soft J, emphasis/strong ette) sounds a bit odd, whereas Juliet (hard J, emphasis on the U) works better with a=n English accent/to an English ear.

From your list I do think it's the necest, but love Nina too. So many Madeleines already!

SovietKitsch · 28/11/2016 13:34

Ooh, I love these names! I'd use any of Madeleine, Juliet, Nina or Juliana (with those spellings).

Nina or Valentina.

Gruffalosfriend · 28/11/2016 11:41

Valentina or Juliana (with one n) for me.

Don't like the English pronunciation of Madeleine.

yotica · 28/11/2016 10:48

Valentina. And it can be shortened to Tina which is quite similar to Nina.

BertrandRussell · 28/11/2016 10:45

More Ninas than Juliettes!

Nina is beautiful and so unique

Juliette!

paddypants13 · 28/11/2016 10:05

Julianna.

Madeline in secondplace.

canwestart2016again · 28/11/2016 10:04

Nina

DurhamDurham · 28/11/2016 09:41

Valentina is a lovely name, although all of the potential names you've chosen are lovely names.

ShowOfHands · 28/11/2016 09:23

I knew a Nina who is actually a Valentina. Of course you can abbreviate it that way.

Juliette is my favourite though, by a country mile.

ViewBasket · 28/11/2016 09:22

Julianna

ElizaDontlittle · 28/11/2016 09:20

Both Juliette and Juliana are beautiful, underused but classical names - lovely. If you live somewhere where people speak with that kind of glottal stop - then maybe Juliana rather than getting annoyed that people aren't saying it "right"!

BertrandRussell · 28/11/2016 09:20

Juliet- spelled like that. To be absolutely certain nobody will pronounce it Juli-ETTE.

pilates · 28/11/2016 09:19

Madeliene

SausageSoda · 28/11/2016 09:18

Juliette by a long way.

MiniMaxi · 28/11/2016 09:17

Juliette!

CakeRattleandRoll · 27/11/2016 23:44

Juliana (prefer with one n) or Madeleine.
