I posted about the name Juliet yesterday and it seems that there could be some confusion over pronunciation. So, how would you pronounce the name?

JULIE-et?
Julie-ET?

Second one.

Agree that Juliette should have an emphasis on the "et" syllable, and Juliet on the "julie" part.

However, most people will mispronounce Juliet as Juliette.

No emphasis on any syllable

Julie-ET.

But I think I probably put a reasonably strong emphasis on both syllables. They’re quite evenly balanced with a slight extra on the -ET.

Exactly what DockoftheBay said -

JULIE-et for your spelling
Julie-ET for Juliette.

I think Juliette would have an emphasis on the "et" syllable, Juliet on the "julie" part.
