Juliet Vs Juliette

[Keladrythesaviour]

Reasons for and against each spelling?
I probably prefer the latter but find myself saying it with a soft J which makes it sound like I'm putting on an accent but I love both!

Juliet
Looks neater

Juliet

I think they have different pronunciations

Juliet = JOO-liet

Juliette = julie-ETTE

Juliet.

I like just Juliet. My reason would be that for some reason it seems more ‘classic’ to me, whereas Juliette looks more dated. Lovely name.

Juliet for me too.

Juliet, I think different stresses as in a PP so slightly different sounds but this is neater, cooler and less frilly

I think Juliette looks really nice but most will assume it's spelt Juliet. Either way, a beautiful name!

Juliet

Juliette is just fussy, and she will be endlessly correcting the spelling. You will never get it pronounced with a soft J in the UK.

I like repetition of letters so Juilette, however I also say them differently it makes me say Zhu Lee et.

Juliet. If it's good enough for Shakespeare - seriously, it's been the standard spelling here for centuries, fluffing up the end will lead to a lifetime of having her name misspelled.

Juliet.

Juliet, if you're pronouncing it with a slight emphasis on the first syllable (i.e standard British pronunciation of the name).

Juliette, if the emphasis is on the the "ette", and you have some sort of link to France.

That's how I'd decide, anyway.

I prefer Juliette. It just looks prettier to me.

Juliet.

I know a Juliet and a Juliette and they both pronounce their names the same way.

I prefer the Juliet spelling - I tend to prefer shorter versions of names in general e.g. Isabel over Isabelle.

I think Juliet is the more common spelling in the UK. However, both spellings are known so if you prefer Juliette go with it.

I do think the French spellings make you look a bit ignorant in the UK if you’re pronouncing it the English way. It’s like advertising that you don’t know the difference.
cf, Isabel /Isabelle, Vivien/Vivienne. Annabel /Annabelle.

Juliet.

Had exact same dilemma 3 years ago and so glad we went with the English spelling. She still gets it sometimes written as 'Juliette' on her preschool artwork though .

I love this name so much I'm really struggling to find anything as nice for DD2!

Prefer Juliet
It just looks better

I prefer Juliette, but only because i think it looks nicer with my DDs name (Bernadette)

Juliet

Juliet.

I much prefer Juliette. Prettier to look at.

Juliette, much prettier.

Prefer Juliet, Juliette looks unnecessarily frilly to me.
