Which do you prefer?

And how inevitable do you think the nickname "Jules" is?

Julia ,but I like Juliet too.

mend Nothing's wrong with Jules, I just associate it men, or older women, for some reason. I have a friend named Julian who has always been Jules, so that may be why. Smile

Juliet. I think it's cute but suits all ages. Julia I like but I instantly think of an adult not a little girl.

Out of the two Juliet - but neither would be in my top 10.

Sorry 💐

I'm a Julia and only a handful of people call me Jules. I like my name but also really like Juliet.

My Juliet is a Jet, sometimes a Juju and never a Jules. I also like the French spelling, Juliette.

I'm in the States and Julia is hugely popular over here. All the (teenage) Julia's I know are called Jules for short. It's a lovely name though!

Juliet. My parents have a friend called Juliet who is known as Jet. She's quirky, independent and completely suits the nickname.

Juliet. And I like Jules, but agree that this way you could use Ettie/Etta instead.

Julia!

I prefer Julia to Juliet and if it was to be Juliet I prefer the French way of Juliette

IMO nm only happens if you permit them.
