Julia, Jools, Joules or Jules

[userchanger]

Name for our baby girl-

I prefer the shortened version Joules, does it look like I am copying the clothing brand?

Yes it does and that was my first thought but it's entirely up to you!

Juliet!

Or jewels?

Christen Juliet/Julia, call her Jules.

Joules is a brand.

Give her a proper name on her birth certificate, and then you can spell it any way you like as a nickname.

Made me think of a unit of energy (kJ)
I know a Juliet that gets shortened to Jules

Jools Oliver is Juliet. Joules would need explanation of the spelling. The energy unit or the clothing brand…

Is none of them an option?

@KingscoteStaff

Christen Juliet/Julia, call her Jules.

Joules is a brand.

This

The only Julia I know is Juju anyway, but Joules is far too obviously the name of a shop. How often does one, realistically, write down a diminutive like that anyway (unless you are Mrs Jamie Oliver)

Juliana?

I’d go for Juliet known as jules, but not sure how much it matters how the nickname is spelt.

Joules will be forever written as Jules. And it's the name of a shop (I love the shop).

It's a unit of energy and also yes.

I've known one Jules and one Jools

I think Joules does seem a bit like copying the brand but I'm not sure that really matters to be honest!

Joules is definitely an energy unit or a brand (named after founder Tom Joule).
Julie, Juliet, Juliette or Julietta on the birth certificate and call her Jules for everyday, spelt however you want.
I predict that she will change the spelling anyway. I was at school with a Julie who has been Jules, Jools, Joolz, Juju and Jewels over the years. Currently (aged 60) signs herself Joolz.

Julia / Juliet / juliette / Julie / Julianne known as Jules / Jools

I wouldn't go for Joules

Give her the real name on the birth certificate (Juliet) then her nickname can be whatever you like.

There's no reason to add letters to a nickname to make people think it is 'unique'.

Jules is the logical spelling for a nickname from Julia/Juliet. Why would you want to add a random 'o' in there?

I'm occasionally called Jules, although more often other things. My first thought on reading your post was that Joules was the name of a brand.

I'd go with Juliet/Julia/Julie on the bc and Jules as a nickname.

Julia
Julie
Julianna/e
Juliette
These names can all be shortened to Jools as a nickname.

I think you'd cringe at 'Joules' in a few years' time. In a similar vein to Chanel/Armani/Gucci as names. At least they are designer I suppose!

Give her a proper name and then let her decide if she wants a nick name or to shorten her name in some way.

Joules/Jules/etc all sound daft as a proper name. She is going to be stuck with it for the rest of her life, not just as a cute 2 year old.

I'd have one of the formal Julia names I like all the different versions, with nickname Jools I just like the fun spelling for a nickname.

Yes it does and it's also the SI Unit for energy.
