Too dated?

It's pretty, although I prefer Julia.

HeyDolly · 19/07/2018 18:52

It’s no1 on our list for DD2 at the mo. The only name that me & DH can both agree on so far! I 95% love it - not sure what’s stopping me yet from being 100% on it.

I also have a 1 year old Juliet, always getting compliments on it

TatianaLarina · 18/07/2018 15:23

So boring.

ZebraKid71 · 18/07/2018 13:50

I like it but dislike the obvious nn for it.

MariaMadita · 18/07/2018 11:03

It's nice but I prefer Julia.

MikeUniformMike · 18/07/2018 09:33

I don't like it. Don't like Jules/Jools as a nn.
Dislike the Julie-ETTE way that some people say it.
Quite nice otherwise.

RedDwarves · 18/07/2018 09:18

I love it.

Not dated at all. It's never been popular enough to be considered dated. Dated is something like Karen or Margaret - a name which had a significant burst in population and saturated the name charts for a few years, but then rapidly dropped off. Juliet does not fit this.

I love it! I wanted to name my daughter Juliet but my husband vetoed it.

bridgetreilly · 18/07/2018 08:52

I really like it.

daisypond · 17/07/2018 19:45

No, not dated. It seems popular on here - gets mentioned quite a lot, so I think it's already rising up the charts. I like it, but I prefer Julia.

VioletWillow · 17/07/2018 19:36

I have a Juliette here too! We like it 😊

myidentitymycrisis · 17/07/2018 19:35

I agree with Dramaalpaca on pronunciation. I also love it.

SparkyBlue · 17/07/2018 19:34

I have a Juliette and I am always getting compliments on the name. It's a lovely classic name.

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 17/07/2018 19:32

Should my next baby turn out to be a girl then this will be her name, middle name Juliana nn Juju (after one of my favourite albums) x

Icklepup · 17/07/2018 19:29

Lovely

DramaAlpaca · 17/07/2018 19:29

Juliet is lovely - as long as it's pronounced with the stress on the first syllable & not on the last one, ie not the same way as Juliette.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/07/2018 19:27

I have got loads of names for the baby I've got no bloody intentions of having. Grin

Imhertwopennyprince · 17/07/2018 19:25

I personally don't like it but I agree that it's obviously an elegant name

Sunshiness · 17/07/2018 19:24

Beautiful! I wouldn't find it dated.

motortroll · 17/07/2018 19:23

So lovely. Helped that I knew a lovely girl called Juliet. Unusual yet classic and I've just added it up the list of names for my imaginary 4th baby that I have intentions of having 😂

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/07/2018 19:19

I don't like it personally. However, that doesn't alter the fact that its a beautiful name. It's sophisticated elegant classy
and very pretty.

FawnDrench · 17/07/2018 19:05

Lovely lovely name.

finallychangedmyusername · 17/07/2018 19:04

Not dated at all! Gorgeous

SmallestInTheClass · 17/07/2018 18:51

No, it's lovely and not a name that you come across often. It can be mistaken for Julia though, had a friend with the name at school.
