I love both, probably slightly prefer Lucy.

Juliet is more unusual but for me that spelling has to be pronounced JOOLyet. It's not the same as the French Juliette, where the stress is on the last syllable.

I'd get really irritated by the wrong pronunciation. At least you can't get Lucy wrong!

Both lovely but I'd go with Juliet.

Juliet! So pretty, would suit baby, toddler, young girl, teenager and women.

Juliet, no contest . It's beautiful
I really don't like any girl's names ending in y, ey or ie, just too twee and cutesy

Lucy definitely!

Juliet! I love it. It's sounds so pretty, sophisticated and elegant to me. I feel it carries more weight than Lucy, which is very pretty and sweet, but it seems like a little girl's name. And Juliet is so much more memorable than Lucy.

Juliet is so beautiful, elegant and well known but not overused/popular so it's not a contest for me. While Lucy is a classic name, it's quite popular and I find it too sweet/cute sounding personally.
