Hello, due baby number 2 imminently and already have a Juliette. This is another girl and we've found it a lot more difficult to decide on a name this time! We were thinking of Eleanor for a long time but I just don't like Ellie and feel it'll inevitably become a nickname at some point. Surname begins with L and has 2 syllables. We have the following shortlist:

Louisa (probably top contender)
Sylvie
Phoebe
Rosanna (Rosie)
Martha

Opinions on the above very welcome!

We've been weighing up between Juliet and Georgina, both have a similar feel to us.

Love Louisa and Sylvie!

Juliette is a really lovely name, great choice. So pretty and classic yet havent met one in my 10'years of parenting.

How about
Aurelie, Anouk, Sandrine or Clemence for little sister?

All your names are lovely including Eleanor.

Rosamund
Cressida
Lillian
Frances
Helen
Vivienne

Phoebe is my favorite on your list, not sure it ‘goes’ with Juliette though if that matters. I like Louisa too and think that works well with Juliette.

I love Louisa and think it goes beautifully.

I also really like Martha and Rosanna.

I'm not a fan of Phoebe at all I'm afraid.

Don't be afraid of Eleanor and the abbreviation. Mine is an Ellie but I know a teenager who has always just been Eleanor and a couple of younger ones with different abbreviations (Ella and Nora), so Ellie is not inevitable if you don't want it.

Claudine
Helena
Vivienne
Margot
Beatrix
Rosalyn or Rosalind

I like Louisa best, but don’t think any of them have Juliet’s elegance - other than Rosanna but there are so many Rosies (much like Eleanor and Ellie)

How about

Marianne
Genevieve
Francesca
Lydia
Annabel
Claudia
Verity
Caroline
Saskia
Serena

I have a Louisa. Fabulous name. Goes well with Juliette.

I suppose alternatively another Shakespearean name may work?

Order of preference:
Sylvie
Martha
Phoebe
Rosanna
