Ok how are people saying Juliet?Confused

For the simple fact that now there are a lot of confused people about how we're supposed to be saying Juliet, I say go for Frances. It's a lovely simple, beautiful name with a good choice of nick names.

Juliet

BigusBumus · 07/01/2019 00:51

How would one pronounce Juliet if it's not Julie-ette? Is it Jiulie-ey?

CrazyOldBagLady · 07/01/2019 00:53

If I had to pick one of those I would say Juliet, but I think Julia is a more beautiful name.

DramaAlpaca · 07/01/2019 00:57

I prefer Juliet, as long as it's pronounced as Mike says, ie not Juli-ETTE.

Juliet is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable, so JOO-liet, or JOOL-yut. It's so much nicer than Juliette, IMO.

Frances is OK too, but Juliet is just beautiful.

I love both Juliet and Frances. For the short forms I would choose Frances, but either would be great. Frances Juliet and Juliet Frances both work well too.

WhirlieGigg · 07/01/2019 03:53

I like Juliet

PhoenixBuchanan · 07/01/2019 03:57

Frances. It's such a great band.

PhoenixBuchanan · 07/01/2019 03:57

A great name obviously

Juliet

Frances.

Juliet is a bit try hard and obvious, and I think she would need to grow up to be very girly. Frances is so elegant.

Highlowpo · 08/01/2019 06:41

Much prefer Juliet.

MumUnderTheMoon · 08/01/2019 10:18

I'm not fond of the name Frances but I love Frankie for a girl what about Francesca it's much prettier.

SlimGin · 08/01/2019 13:18

Juliet. I like Frances but I met a Frances in London after living up north all my life and couldn't get over that southerners pronounce is 'Frarnces'. Just sounds jarring to me.
