Sibling for Juliet

42 replies

mila457 · 15/01/2021 14:02

We already have a daughter Juliet, now expecting another baby. We were so pleased with Juliet and still love it - it's classic/pretty but still not that popular in the rankings. Would like a similar name for our new boy/girl so they don't feel like they got the short end of the stick!

Any suggestions welcome! What would you name a sibling for Juliet?

I have a Juliet and names for fictional DC2 would be Lara or Matthew

I love Juliet, it's top of my non-Welsh girls list with Lyra and Rosa.

I also like:
Evangeline
Aveline
Verity
Cassia
Naomi
Susanna
Louisa
Sabrina
Rosalie/Rosemary/Rosanna/Rosalind
Cassandra
Annie/Anna/Anya
Natasha

For boys I love Edmund (another underused classic like Juliet), Patrick and Alistair. Other underused boys names would work well - Nicholas, Laurence, Christopher.

We have a Clara; if dc2 had been a girl, we would have called her Juliet.
I think they work well together.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 15/01/2021 19:31

Oh for boys names that fit with Juliet imo: Hugh, Sebastian, Henry, Edmund, Laurence, Nicholas, Nathaniel, Owen, Phillip, Robert, Edgar.

Juliet and Louisa

Juliet and Dorian

Chilldonaldchill · 15/01/2021 19:24

I think Virginia is quite a difficult name to have.
Genevieve with the NN Ginny would work as well?

Isobel
Susanna

Hugh

Namechanger0800 · 15/01/2021 19:18

Penelope or Christopher

finallychangedmyusername · 15/01/2021 18:17

I love Marina with Juliet! So perfect. Otherwise seconding Claudia. Or Adelaide, Christabel, Lucinda, Anneliese.

For boys: Nathaniel, Dominic, Timothy, Anthony all spring to mind.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 15/01/2021 17:55

I'd stick with classical feeling, elegant, and underused (with a subtle Shakespeare link) like Juliet:
Celia
Rosalind
Helena
Viola
Marina

baby name list

Quite like this list of names, described as ‘Upright Elegance’.

Can’t wait to tell my heavily tattooed DD that her name is an example of “upright elegance” Grin
