We seem to have whittled down to two names for dd due fairly soon, although we like several. Hoping for some middle name advice/suggestions and then potentially we can make the final decision once she arrives...

Juliet Catherine
Juliet Elizabeth
Juliet Sophie

Cleo Sophie
Cleo Juliet
Cleo Zara
Cleo Matilda
Cleo Georgina

Love Juliet, absolutely beautiful name. I’d go for Juliet Elizabeth from your list

Juliet Elizabeth

ChocolateCrunch · 16/02/2018 14:33

I like Cleo Georgina or Cleo Matilda

Thistlebelle · 16/02/2018 14:35

Either Juliet Catherine or Elizabeth whichever sounds best with your surname.

They are both lovely.

OrdinaryGirl · 16/02/2018 14:38

Juliet Catherine is beautiful and less of a mouthful than Juliet Elizabeth I think.

Juliet Elizabeth

Beautiful and was very nearly DC4’s name!

Juliet Catherine, not keen on Cleo

AdaColeman · 16/02/2018 15:01

Juliet Elizabeth, just beautiful!

ErrantBakedBean · 16/02/2018 15:27

Cleo Matilda Smile

Juliet Elizabeth. It's easier to say than Juliet Catherine - not that that really matters. But both are equally nice. I like Sophie as a name too. I'm not keen on Cleo particularly.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 16/02/2018 15:27

Juliet Elizabeth

NameChangeDestroyer · 16/02/2018 16:54

Juliet Cleo or Cleo Juliet

Cosmoa · 16/02/2018 17:50

Cleo Juliet or Cleo Zara!

Not into Juliet as a first name... Plus they may get called Julie which isn't anywhere near as nice.

Cleo is one if my faves and another that bf has vetoed Sad

Cosmoa · 16/02/2018 17:51

In fact I like all the Cleo middle name suggestions except for Sophie.

QueenB14 · 16/02/2018 17:52

Juliet is the nicer of the two

Any of those three middle names are lovely Smile

MammieBear · 16/02/2018 18:13

Cleodie is an option for you in that case I'd say Cleodie Juliet, that way you get both the names you love.

soundsystem · 16/02/2018 18:14

Juliet Elizabeth. Love Juliet!

KatharinaRosalie · 16/02/2018 18:38

Juliet Catherine

PinkAvocado · 16/02/2018 18:42

Juliet Elizabeth is lovely.

The worst is Cleo Zara (too car ish).

upsideup · 16/02/2018 18:42

I'd be worried Juliet would turn into Julie which is rather boring. I like Cleo more, probably Cleo Matilda

Smoliver · 16/02/2018 19:14

Juliet Catherine or Cleo Juliet. Slightly prefer Cleo as a first name though.

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 16/02/2018 19:39

Cleo Zara or Cleo Matilda. Cleo is very cool, and I can't get past the tragic association with Juliet. If you want to go Shakespearean, I'd go with Beatrice or Rosalind.

Ok, thanks for all the responses. We're keeping an open mind but hoping to get down to two options... So Juliet Catherine I think slightly wins for us over Juliet Elizabeth purely because it's more of a mouthful with surname. Difficult though as like both. I think with Cleo we'd use Cleo Juliet.... Our eldest actually has a Shakespearean middle name bit it would be a bit outing to reveal it! One we both love. If picking on character I might go with Beatrice (also lovely) but don't think Cleo Beatrice rolls off the tongue. Juliet is tragic but I think quite strong/brave
