Which is your favourite...

Freya or Juliette?

Juliette sounds a bit too posh but I like the potential for shortening and it's more unusual.

Freya is beautiful but quite common around here. And no real possibility of nn.

Thoughts?

Prefer Juliette.
What shortening would you use?

Freya is meh.

@Noshowwithoutpunch

Prefer Juliette. What shortening would you use?

Freya is meh.

Agreed

Jules maybe? As she got older. Doesn't sound quite right on a baby lol.

I like them both. I have a Juliet, she's almost 4yo. We call her Juju. Other potential nicknames are Jules, Ettie, Jet, Jettie.

Juju is gorgeous

Juliette. I went to school with one who’s nick names were JuJu and jules.

Freya isn’t my cup of tea

Juliette

Both nice names, although as you say Freya is massively popular now. I prefer the Juliet spelling, lovely name that suits all ages.

Juliette - my DD’s middle name is Julianna. I love Julia, Julie, JuJu is so cute!

I love Juliette, but unfortunately hate the nicknames, especially Jules. So I'd pick Freya. But if you like the nicknames, then Juliette is nicer!

Juliet rather than Juliette, but prefer both to Freya.

Juliette

Juliette

Juliette is my preference, and don’t worry, it’s definitely not posh!

Another vote for Juliet, but only this spelling as the extra letters are unnecessarily fussy for my taste.

Freya is fine but overdone.

Juliette and I prefer this spelling to Juliet too.

Juliet. The original spelling, as in Romeo and, is classy. Freya isn't awful but to me says 1980s, which is maybe not a huge problem.

Definitely Juliette.
Nicknames - Ettie?
I know a Juliette, she is 14 and is known as Jules.

I also love Julia

Juliet (or if you just, Juliette) over Freya but Freya is quite nice also.

Prefer Juliet, with that spelling.

Juliet with that spelling.
You don't need to shorten it.

Freya is faddy and overpopular.

Juliette but I prefer spelling it as Juliet.

Juliet I'd spell it that way as it'll be annoying for her to have to spell it out all the time.
