Juliet!

Beek84 · 07/12/2017 20:15

I think both are lovely. Good choices! Sorry not much help...if pressed my vote would go to Helena

Justmuddlingalong · 07/12/2017 20:16

Pronounced He-le-na or He-lay-na?

Mulch · 07/12/2017 20:16

Helena

SleepFreeZone · 07/12/2017 20:18

I like both.

Muddlingalongalone · 07/12/2017 20:18

Juliet - also like the Juliette spelling.

Smoliver · 07/12/2017 20:19

Both are gorgeous but I do have a soft spot for Helena

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/12/2017 20:19

Helena

Mrsknackered · 07/12/2017 20:21

Helena. Really dislike Juliet, sorry.

I really love Ellene, which is quite similar Smile

ChocolateCrunch · 07/12/2017 20:54

Helena

Olivelor · 07/12/2017 21:09

My choice would be Helena too.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/12/2017 21:10

Helena

JollyGiraffe · 07/12/2017 21:11

Both are lovely.

I really couldn't choose between them Blush

DramaAlpaca · 07/12/2017 21:14

Juliet, as long as it's pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable so not like Juliette.

I like Helena too.

ByThePowerOfRa · 07/12/2017 21:15

Both nice, but I prefer Juliet.

starkid · 07/12/2017 21:16

Helena!

mistermagpie · 07/12/2017 21:16

I know three people whose name is spelt 'Helena' and all pronounce it differently. One is Helen-a, one is Hel-ee-na and one is Hel-ay-na. I wouldn't use the name for this reason.

mistermagpie · 07/12/2017 21:17

Plus Juliet is way nicer!

Claricestarling1 · 07/12/2017 21:19

Helena!! 😍

stopbeingadramallama · 07/12/2017 21:20

Helena. Juliet isn't my favourite and is too Romeo and Juliet.

feral · 07/12/2017 21:22

Helena

feral · 07/12/2017 21:23

Forgot to add that anything with a Julie in it is awful imo

MollyHuaCha · 07/12/2017 21:31

Juliet.

MikeUniformMike · 07/12/2017 22:29

Helena. Pronounced Helen-a not Hel-aina or Hel-eena.

MikeUniformMike · 07/12/2017 22:31

Juliet is pretty (makes me think of Juliet Stevenson) but Jules is horrid, and I dislike the Julie-ETTE pronunciation.
