Juliet or Verity

[iamloading]

We are going round in circles! Which do you prefer please?

Verity Elizabeth

If we’d had a girl, our Juliet would have been Etta or Letty to us, (for as long as she let us)!

Juliet for me. I like the name Verity but know two, both of whom not at all keen on own name as they think it sounds prissy. I know a very lovely Juliet so I may be biased!

The difficulty with Juliet is it is very easy for others to shorten. So Julie, Jules etc, if you are ok with this then lovely. Verity I think is lovely.

This was our exact shortlist with likely middle name for DS2.

For what it’s worth I’m pretty sure we would have landed on Verity in the end.

DD is Juliet, possible shortening don't bother me as I think that's her choice in the future. I call her Jay sometimes. Also not bothered by misspelling occasionally.

I suggested Verity but DH said Ferrity!

I prefer Verity personally as I think it's a bit more unusual. I know 2 baby Juliet Elizabeth's just in our very small town who are both under 1!

Juliet. Because of Ferrety.

Juliet

I like both but I think I would go for Verity. There's only one way to pronounce it and I've heard Juliet pronounced two ways (with the stress on the first syllable of the last) so which ever way you want it to be, chances are people would call her the other.
