What are your thoughts on Julianne, Juliet, Julia or Julie? Which do you prefer? (nn Jules).

Julie is quite dated, maybe Julia too, actually.

The first two are pretty and probably due a revival.

But Juliet is by far the best Smile

Julianne or Juliet. The last two are yes, dated and not in a good way.

Sallyhasleftthebuilding · 22/11/2015 08:12

Can I add Julianna?

ktmummy1 · 22/11/2015 08:17

Juliet is lovely.

IoraRua · 22/11/2015 08:39

I love Juliet but am seeing them starting to come into schools, so no.
Julianne is lovely.
Julie, Julia are fine but nothing exciting about either.

Juliet was on my list but I was going to spell it Juliette. I just don't like Julie/Jools as a nn.

Julia is in top 100 names now I think which I was quite surprised about as I only know one who is 35(!)

Juliet

My fantasy girl twins are called Josephine and Juliet.

Paddletonio · 22/11/2015 09:31

Love Juliet

SanityClause · 22/11/2015 09:31

I like Julia, of those.

It sounds happy.

MaisieDotes · 22/11/2015 09:32

Juliet, by a mile. Love it.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 22/11/2015 09:35

Love Juliet, and that spelling.

ashesandfire · 22/11/2015 09:39

Julie is dated IMO. Julia and Julianne are quite pretty. But Juliet is gorgeous! Love it

villainousbroodmare · 22/11/2015 09:47

Julie is my least loved of those.
As a pp suggested, does Julianna or Juliana appeal to you?

IamaJulie · 22/11/2015 10:23

That's not so bad, this time. I've heard really horrible things about my name on MN before.

I've told DC that if they want to name a grand-child after me, that I like Julia best. And absolutely not Juliet .

StrawberryTeaLeaf · 22/11/2015 10:36

My name's dated too IamaJulie. But I'm guessing our names match our vintage Smile

LBOCS2 · 22/11/2015 10:39

I have a Juliet. So I may be biased Grin

TheDisillusionedAnarchist · 22/11/2015 10:45

Julia or Juliana

OhPillocks · 22/11/2015 10:47

I really like all of them. I think Julie is very cute.

Leviticus · 22/11/2015 10:49

Juliet. Classic, beautiful and not overused.

CelestiaLuna · 22/11/2015 11:38

Any except Julie

merrymouse · 22/11/2015 11:40

I like all of them.

SwedishEdith · 22/11/2015 11:42

Julia is gorgeous. Classy. I think Julie might be due a comeback as well.

Sophronia · 22/11/2015 11:48

Julia is classic and beautiful.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 22/11/2015 11:53

Oh hard decision. On a level of personal opinion. I'm not that fussed on Juliet, but there's no denying its a beautiful classy elegant name. I think I would go for Julia. It's so refreshing to see all the old names come back

AnneEyhtMeyer · 22/11/2015 11:58

Juliet is nicest.

Julia has seen a huge surge near me because of it being used in the Polish community.
