Juliet or Lucy?

[Liana2021]

For our little girl due in a month :)
DH and I love both, can’t decide, please help!

Juliet is so beautiful, elegant and well known but not overused/popular so it's not a contest for me. While Lucy is a classic name, it's quite popular and I find it too sweet/cute sounding personally.

Juliet! I love it. It's sounds so pretty, sophisticated and elegant to me. I feel it carries more weight than Lucy, which is very pretty and sweet, but it seems like a little girl's name. And Juliet is so much more memorable than Lucy.

Lucy definitely!

Juliet, no contest . It's beautiful
I really don't like any girl's names ending in y, ey or ie, just too twee and cutesy

Juliet! So pretty, would suit baby, toddler, young girl, teenager and women.

Both lovely but I'd go with Juliet.

I love both, probably slightly prefer Lucy.

Juliet is more unusual but for me that spelling has to be pronounced JOOLyet. It's not the same as the French Juliette, where the stress is on the last syllable.

I'd get really irritated by the wrong pronunciation. At least you can't get Lucy wrong!

Lucy

Both are lovely. We considered Juliet but were slightly put off by the thought of people not pronouncing the t at the end so if that’s the kind of thing that would annoy you then I’d go with Lucy

They are both lovely, but I'd probably favour Juliet just because I don't know any little Juliets.

Lucy

Juliet is my name and I still love it, actually more now than when I was young. It's sort of a young but old name. No-one has ever called me anything but Juliet, never Ju, Julie or Jules (although I grew up with a comedy surname which lent itself well to nicknames.)

Juliet! Such a beautiful, classy name.

Juliet!

Way too many Lucys

Juliet is so much more distinctive and elegant.

Lucy mainly because I have a friend called Juliet who hated being called Julie all the time and got constant comments about "where's Romeo then?".

@GeorginaLS so good to know, thanks! :) Our last name is one syllable (think Smith) and I would use the full name “Juliet” as I dislike Jools or Julie as nicknames (not fan of Luce either for Lucy so that doesn’t settle the debate between the two names for me).
Can’t predict nicknames though, it will be up to her!

Juliet! She will get called jools though whether you like it or not. I personally think hooks is quite a cool nickname!

Lucy

Both lovely but I prefer Juliet as it’s slightly more unusual. I know a Juliet who gets called Lettie which I think is quite sweet! I do also love the name Lucia with nn Lucy, as an alternative.

Both are great choices but I really love Lucy!
Only possible downside is I know it’s popular for folks to name puppies Lucy, maybe because it is a bit of a “cute” name. That wouldn’t sway me away from it though, it’s still awesome!

Juliet

Juliet. Lucy is too popular.

Both lovely but Juliet is fabulous. I know a Juliet and a Juliette and both are known as Juliet/Juliette rather than Jules or Julie.

Lucy Juliet is nice though if you wanted to use both.

@CaffiSaliMali if I use Lucy I’ll definitely go for Lucy Juliet :) good to know Juliets don’t automatically go shortened!
Thank you!
