Juliet or Juliette

[MeltorPeltor]

Reaching a bit of an impasse with girls names.

We both agree, so far, only on Juliet/Juliette. I think we both prefer the shorter spelling but I want to use Ette on a day to day basis. Would that work if we used Juliet?

Any other fairly traditional but unusual names we could use? Has to go with a double barreled surname so nothing too long and nothing starting with the letter R.

Juliet always not so keen on the french way and may lead to alot of correcting,

Juliet

I think it depends on how you are planning to pronounce it, because I say Juliet & Juliette quite differently.

To me, Juliet is JOOL-yet and Juliette is Juli-ETTE, the French way. (Sorry, it's hard to write pronunciations down, but I hope that makes sense!)

So if you want to call her Ette, I'd go for Juliette.

I personally prefer Juliet, but they are both beautiful names.

Juliet. I pronounce both the same in my accent though.

I prefer Juliette - I just like the symmetry at the end. It's on our list and we would spell it Juliette. Just out of interest, how would you pronounce 'Ette'? Would it be 'eh-tt-ey'?

Had dc2 been a girl, we would have named her Juliette. Absolutely love it.

Juliet as in Romeo and Juliet!

Juliet for sure.

Lovely name. I like both spellings. Slight preference for Juliet.

Juliet, but I never know whether to say it JOO-lee-et or joo-lee-ET.

Mary
Marianne

Re Juliet/Juliette I slightly prefer Juliet

Juliet. And yes Etta would be fine as a shortening.

Juliet, love Etta.

Juliet

Juliet looks nicer but I prefer the sound of Juliette.

But it makes me feel a bit sad that you would choose lovely Juliet/Juliette as the official name and then instantly discard it for, the much plainer in comparison, Etta.

Etta/Ette holds none of Juliet's charm.

Juliet, the other spelling is to flouncy for me.

I have a baby Juliet. I pronounce both spellings the same way but much much prefer the look of Juliet.

We get nothing but compliments on it- very happy with our choice X

Juliet for me, don't like the frilliness of Juliette. I pronounce the the same, emphasis on the last syllable.

Other suggestions:
Celia
Dinah
Helen
Leonie
Venetia
Bianca
Iris

My 4yo is Juliet. The extra letters seem a bit superfluous - and she's not delicate enough for the 'ette', it turns out.

But you'll be correcting people either way. It's just easier to say "like Romeo and..."
