Final, final two: Imogen or Juliet?

[specialsmasher]

They are both lovely I think. Both have potential shortening issues though, maybe.

What do you think?

Definitely Juliet.

I love the name Imogen

I know this is pathetic but I'm loving the fact you all prefer the name Juliet

Another vote for Juliet it is rarely heard (apart from Romeo and Juliet type way) and Imogen is getting common around here

I am always surprised that Imogen is as high on the lists as it is - it is a name that is always around, but never really come across loads of them. I have an Imogen, she is 8. never been to school with another girl with the same name (not just in her class, in the whole preschool/school)

I quite like Juliet, but not sure I would use it. I really dislike the obvious nicknames, which would put me off.

I prefer Juliet too. I like the French variant, Juliette, as well. There's nothing wrong with Imogen though.

Juliet - love it - classy and timeless

Imogen just doesn't do it for me

Juliet! Imogens are ten-a-penny but I rarely encounter a Juliet.

Love Juliet

Juliet/ Juliette

Maybe Juliet Imogen

Heard of 3 baby Juliets this week!

Both pretty names. Juliet works better with Elisabeth than Imogen does IMO.

Juliet nicer than Imogen, but I prefer Julia. Or even Juliana.

Imogen but I love both of them!

Juliet

Juliet. Personally I think everyone's named Imogen nowadays.

Martha Elspeth, Eliza or Imogen

Juliet will be constantly mis-pronounced as Juliette.

How on earth does the pronunciation of Juliet differ from the pronunciation of Juliette?

Juliet- Our beautiful angel dd2 is Juliet and dd1 is Elizabeth so you have great taste in names if you go for Juliet Elisabeth. Our Juliet was know as Jet or Letti(dc 1&2 'made' these nns up for her)

Juliet, Juliette is lovely too

Imogen

In British English Juliet is correctly pronounces with the emphasis on the JU, rather than the emphasis on the ETTE in Juliette. Pronouncing the former as the latter is an Americanism.

Listen at 20 seconds in.

Hm, well I have to say the difference is nothing more than a nuance, and can't say that in two years I have ever noticed anyone pronouncing it 'correctly' or 'incorrectly'...
