Juliet

[NebularNerd]

What are people's thoughts on Juliet?

I like it but never know whether to pronounce it JOO-lee-et or joo-lee-ET.

I love it. I only knew one who is now about 60.

I like it. Julia is also nice.

We considered Juliet for our daughter, but one of my in-laws would have droned on about Romeo if we had. I couldn't face that!

A very pretty name.

Love it but husband veto'ed it because of the Romeo connection.

Also there are so many ways of spelling it (which dh found offputting)

I absolutely loved it! But was put of by someone posting a picture on fb of their baby Julie stillborn and its just traumatised me!

I hate it. Some other 'silly' or try-to-hard names = Clementine, Verity, Gemima, Matilda, Portia, Imogen.... I know I'm in a minority. Would not fault anyone who bore these names, of course.

Love Juliet. Not keen on Julie/Julia though.

Love it. Love Jules, Jule, Julia and, at a push, Julie.
The only one I know is a bit of a brat unfortunately.

Love it, if a family member hadn’t used it for their baby born a couple of months before I was due, we’d definitely have gone for it

It's OK, but hate it if shortened to Jules or Jue/Joo.

I love it! Would have been DC2's name if he was a girl.

I think it would be shortened to Julie which I find a very boring seventies name.

Lovely name Do you want some Shakespeare heroines or do you just like that one? My favourite Shakespeare names are

Miranda
Jessica
Beatrice
Olivia
Rosalind

We nearly chose this (Juliette) but decided against due to the Romeo connection but its a lovely name.

@MissMoodyMoo Your post is one of the crassest and most inappropriate things I have ever read. Did you really need the exclamation points when talking about your friend's beloved baby who died? And do you think the trauma in this situation most properly belongs to you? Or to the parent who suffered such an awful loss?

OP I really like it. I know one person named Juliet but she insists on Julie, which I think is nowhere near as nice.

Gorgeous.

It's okay. I'm not sure I would want to be a child with this name as it seems quite old-fashioned.

It's ok but it keeps coming up on here.
I don't like Jooles/Jules, is it Jool-yet/Julie-et/Julie-Ette...
Juliette spelling is naff.
I'd say No.

Love it. I'm a teacher and i've never taught one.

Very pretty name and uncommon these days.

Very, very lovely.

Lovely

It was on my list but I have close family with the surname Montague so it put me off a bit, but it’s a beautiful name.

It's lovely, as long as it's pronounced with the stress on the first syllable.

To me Juliet is JOO-lee-et, while Juliette is Joo-lee-ETTE.

I really love the first one, not so keen on the other.
