Nickname Jules. Would she always be teased about Romeo? Any thoughts would be great.

Lovely name, can't imagine the Romeo connection would be made regularly enough to irritate.

Funny that Romeo (to me at least) sounds so ultra naff whereas Juliet sounds really elegant.

BlueChampagne · 04/11/2015 15:37

A fine choice. Doubt you'll have trouble with Romeo.

Sophronia · 04/11/2015 16:07

I like it, slightly prefer Julia though, do you like that?

Thurlow · 04/11/2015 16:10

Great choice, would be on our shortlist, with the Jules shortening too.

IoraRua · 04/11/2015 16:30

Nickname could equally end up being Julie, make sure you are ok with that.
Its a nice name, I'm seeing it coming in in schools now though.

Lovely name!

Agree that somehow Romeo doesn't seem to work in the UK as well as Juliet. Whereas other Italian boy names do work.

Narp · 04/11/2015 17:59

Lovely

I think Julia is great too

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 04/11/2015 18:00

Really lovely.

Fingers crossed she doesn't date Romeo Beckham (or any Romeo's named in his wake!)

Canyouforgiveher · 04/11/2015 18:00

If I had a third daughter this would have been her name. Lovely.

MissBattleaxe · 04/11/2015 18:03

Lovely classic name

Differentnamesameface · 05/11/2015 15:53

Love Juliet, not keen on Julie or Jules.

emwithme · 05/11/2015 15:55

Didn't even think of Romeo until I read it up thread

I love the name. Gorgeous, timeless, classic. Can be shortened to a variety of nns.

LBOCS2 · 05/11/2015 16:48

We have one. She's never been called any of those nicknames (she gets Jbug though!). Obviously I'm going to be biased but I like it a lot!

bkay19 · 05/11/2015 20:47

love it and also love Julia- great choice :)

MidnightVelvetthe4th · 06/11/2015 06:50

I love it, would be on our girls list if we had another one. I do prefer the spelling Juliette though.

WorldsBiggestGrotbag · 06/11/2015 07:04

Lovely, was on my shortlist but DH vetoed.

BikeRunSki · 06/11/2015 07:09

There was s Juliet in my form at school. I don't think she ever got any Romeo digs.

My fantasy girl twins would be called Josephine and Juliet.

BestIsWest · 06/11/2015 07:12

Lovely. Can't go wrong with a Shakespearean name.

puzzledleopard · 06/11/2015 11:20

I love the name. I've have a relative called Juliette (it sounds the same but spelt differently) Nickname Jools. She loves her name but loathes it when people mishear or shorten it to Julie, which she absolutely hates and instantly corrects. Have to admit she got where's romeo as a teen but I doubt now it really crosses anybodys mind.
