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.

I hadn't realised you were American, sorry. That does change things and it makes sense that they would sound more similar to you.
The clip you linked is pretty close to how I would say Juliette, with my English accent - stressing the last syllable - whereas I would stress the first syllable when saying Juliet.
That's probably just an English (or maybe even northern English) thing.

Juliet is lovely
I much prefer Sylvia to Sylvie.

Sssshhhh

My girl is Juliet. Very uncommon, and that’s just the way I like it.

She’s Juliet or Jules

VitC, I’m Irish rather than American. The clip that I pasted is just where I place the emphasis on the sylabelles/letters rather than the actual accent. Maybe I do pronounce it similar to Americans though because as hard as I try I just can’t seem to say Julia-t and I pronounce Juliet & Juliette the same. I don’t want to be one of those twats though that can’t pronounce their child’s name properly

Will have to ask colleagues in work tomorrow how they pronounce Juliet as I’m pretty sure we all say it the same way over here!

Sylvie

Sylvie. My DD10 is Sylvie, never been a big issue with people getting her name wrong.

FWIW English here (Eastern/South East), I would pronounce Juliet and Juliette exactly the same

I much prefer Juliet but with the Juliette spelling. I just think it is quite a versatile, timeless, elegant name.
Sylvieis a bit clunky and a bit plain. Sylvia is a good alternative to it

I think I like both

I have a 13 month old Juliet and I don't know of any other young ones (in North West)
Sylvie is cute though

Juliet or Julianna

I have a Juliet and Sylvie on my shortlist for number 2. Do they go together though?

Juliet is lovely and I would pronounce both spellings exactly the same, in midlands UK.

Sylvie just makes me think of a bitter old battleaxe I knew.

Juliet is great. The ones I know are never called Julie. It's a totally different name!
I prefer Sylvie though.

Juliet.

Sylvie is a fab name & you’re right it is now more commonly a name in its own right. I really love it!

50/50

I love both.
I pronounce Juliet and Juliette the same way. Definitely stick to the Juliet spelling if you use it. I don't think Juliet needs to be shortened, but if you did, then Letty, Jet or Ettie would work. While Sylvie is gorgeous and modern I dislike Sylvia which feels dated to me.

Not much help here, but with the sister's name I feel Juliet works a little better as it has stronger sounds (though both are fine). Sylvie as a younger sister feels 'little sisterish' to me if that makes sense.
