Juliet

ABitOTT · 09/06/2018 00:13

Cassia followed by Juliet.

Dislike Ferne however it is spelt.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 09/06/2018 00:09

Juliet.

Sophronia · 09/06/2018 00:07

Cassia

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/06/2018 00:06

If I could spell it!

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/06/2018 00:05

Romily is the best Sad

My midwife was called Romily! I almost used it for a second middle name but change my mind in the end as we already had a middle name for her and didn't want make filling in forms more of a faff for her. Gorgeous name though Smile

Juliet but I also like Ferne

BertrandRussell · 08/06/2018 21:21

The pronounciation thing- what I think I mean is the difference between Julie-ETTE -to sort of rhyme with baguette and JU-le-ut -to rhyme with nothing I can think of......

robotcartrainhat · 08/06/2018 21:18

I like Juliet the best and then Cassia

MrsHathaway · 08/06/2018 21:17

Same sounds, different stress patterns. Capitals to indicate strongest stress.

APPle juice
non-denomiNAtional
deTERRent
peter PAN

JUliet with the same pattern as APPle juice is preferred by pps over juliET like peter PAN.

Cassia, with Juliet a close second.

Juliet, so long as you pronounce it JU-liet, not Juli-ET.

Maybe it’s my accent but I don’t find there to be that much of a distinction between Ju-liet and Juli-et. I’m not sure how I pronounce it Grin
