Sylvie or Juliet?

[SuperstarDJ]

DD2 due in a couple of months. Which of these 2 do you prefer? These are the current final two but are subject to change

Other names that I like but cannot use are Romilly, Merryn, Marnie, Cassia.

Juliet is lovely. More timeless too.

If DC2 were another dd she'd 100% have been called Sylvie. I absolutely love it.
(Stuck on boys names now!)

Juliet.

Sylvie definitely! I can just never imagine any under the age of 25 being called Juliet

I don't think you'll have trouble with people confusing it with Sylvia, people have lots of names that could end with either A or E (Evie, Eva, Rosie, Rosa etc)

Sylvie is ok in France. Sylvia is absolutely horrible.

Juliet

Juliet by a very long way.

Sylvie

Whilst I like Slyvie I really don’t like Slyvia although I know there is no logic to that

Reason #1 to pick Juliet.

Love Sylvie, not so keen on Juliet

Both lovely but I prefer Sylvie.

LOVE Sylvie

Am still undecided Juliet has been the only constant on our list but something is stopping me from being completely 100% about it.

We have a 3-year-old Sylvie and a few people call her Sylvia but it's not a big issue, she just corrects them. She loves her name

The only things I'd say is that I prefer it written down to spoken, and that you will find yourself shortening it to 'Sylv' even if you don't intend to! It's been a lovely name for dd though and I'm glad we chose it.

I love both Juliet and Juliette (I would pronounce them differently).
Sylvie is a frumpy french housewife, though. Sorry. It was really overused in France for most of the 1950s and 60s. I know literally dozens!

Sylvie for sure. There seems to be heaps of Juliet's just now

Sylvie is lovely and I don't know how you'd get it confused with Sylvia it's a different name in my opinion xx

Sylvie - love it

VitC how do you pronounce Juliet in comparison to Juliette?

One i’d really like to avoid a name that is overused especially as DD1’s name isn’t very common (not in my region anyway). I know that Juliet is a classic timeless name but I’ve yet to ever meet one of any age. What region are you in if you don’t mind sharing?

Oh my- are you me! These are two (fairly unusual I think) names which I love and would use if I ever had a DD (which isn't going to happen).

They are both beautiful. I think I prefer Juliet but Sylvia is so pretty however I knew a Middle Aged lady growing up so associate it with that.

Juliet seems to be a pretty popular name where I am. There’s a 2 in one of our baby groups and a Juliette in another.

I do know a baby Sylvie, sister to Daphne (which is an awesome name!)

Juliet I would pronounce like Julia with a t at the end. Like in Romeo and Juliet.

Juliette I would pronounce Julie-ETT.

Both are pretty, IMO, although Juliette probably travels better.

Sylvie. Without a doubt! Could be shortened to ‘Vie’ or ‘V’.

There’s very little difference in how I pronounce Juliet and Juliette if any.

I pronounce Juliet like it’s said here which to me doesn’t sound like Julia-t. Have I been saying it wrong all this time?

Love both. You can’t go wrong with either. Like them loads more than your other suggestions. I would personally go with Juliet; it just seems a stronger name.
