Spelling of Juliet/Juliette

[steph2608]

Due date is in 4 days 😱 We are team yellow and think we’ve finally decided on a girls name (DD is Alice Isla). Just wanted some opinions on which spelling and whether you like it?

Juliet Isobel
Juliette Isobel

Juliet - 100% . Don't like it spelled Juliette for some reason. It's too long . Plus Alice & Juliet looks better

There was a thread on this within the last couple of days. There is no reason to spell it Juliette unless you are French or from a French-speaking country. Juliet is adequate elsewhere (and is much nicer, IMO).

Definitely Juliet.
Both lovely names OP.

Juliette is pretty but it's the French spelling so I'd stick with Juliet.
I like Isobel as well but isn't that the Scottish spelling?

Juliet Isobel 👍🏻

Juliet Isabel would be my preferred choice, though Isobel is fine.

Juliet. It's less fusy, somehow more elegant.

In English Juliet sounds nicer than JuliETTE.

Juliet Isobel

I prefer Juliette

Juliet. Because that is how we spell it in English! Shakespeare knows best!

I’d hate to have a name that I’d constantly have to spell out/correct which is what would happen with the French spelling.

Juliet Isobel, lovely timeless name

Much prefer Juliet

Isobel is my favourite spelling too

I prefer Juliette but then I like French names. Also prefer Isabel to Isobel. The a makes it 'softer'.

I prefer Juliette and also prefer isabel or Isabelle

Thanks for all the comments. Think we will go with Juliet!

My granddaughter is Juliet Isabelle

In the English:

Juliet

Isabel

Rather than the French spellings Juliette and Isabelle, both of which emphasise the second syllable.

I was called Juliet when I was born for a week but my parents decided to change it because they got cards spelling it both ways! But I suppose in this day and age you would announce it on FB or Twitter so people will see it written down 😂

Although they wanted it pronounced more like ‘Juli-ut’ than the Shakespearean ‘Juli-ett’.

In conclusion, go for Juliet!

Definitely Juliet. Romantic but also classic.

Juliette always feels a bit flouncy / Hyacinth Bucket for me.

I think Juliette looks prettier but Juliet fits better with Alice.

I much prefer Juliet to Juliette. They are pronounced differently as I pointed out on the thread the other day. JOOLyet as distinct from JuliETTE. And Juliet goes better with Alice.

Juliet Isobel, lovely :)
