Which do you prefer?

And how inevitable do you think the nickname "Jules" is?

I've known two Julias before, and neither got Jules, but one did get something similar to Ju-Ju (doesn't bother me). But I'm not sure if they were just exceptions to the rule. Grin

Juliet.

My DD is a Juliet and Jules hasn't happened yet. Ju-Ju is her nickname :)
