Which spelling do you prefer?

Middle name likely to be Laura or Aurelia.

Surname one syllable.

Juliet. Pronounced JULyet.

AtticaRose · 25/08/2018 17:26

Juliet. I pronounce them the same.

bengalcat · 25/08/2018 17:25

Ok I seem to buck the trend as I would use Juliette - however both are gorgeous - just chose Juliette as it seems more modern

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 25/08/2018 17:23

I would pronounce them the same but prefer Juliet

Juliette looks unnecessarily frilly to me

Sophronia · 25/08/2018 17:19

I also pronounce them differently. I prefer Juliet.

Juliet (JOOLiet) is nicer than Juliette (Jool-ee-ETTE)

Juliet 100%

bridgetreilly · 25/08/2018 15:29

Juliet. I pronounce them exactly the same.

DramaAlpaca · 25/08/2018 15:26

Well it depends which pronunciation you prefer, to me they are quite different names.

Juliet has the stress on the first syllable, so it's a bit like JOO-li-et, or sometimes JOOLyut (if you get my drift, it's hard to write out sounds)

Juliette is Joo-li-ETT.

I prefer Juliet myself.

BeyondMyThoughts · 25/08/2018 15:26
