How would you pronounce Juliet?

[Silverbirchy]

I posted about the name Juliet yesterday and it seems that there could be some confusion over pronunciation. So, how would you pronounce the name?

JULIE-et?
Julie-ET?

Julie et

My cousin is called Juliet and having read this thread I'm now doubting how I've ever said her name . She is Jules most of the time! My gran calls her Julie. I've also got a cousin Julie

I think the difference is like:
Harriet/Juliet
Serviette/Juliette

(I know Serviette isn't a name btw!)

Yes Serviette, Odette, Juliette etc

Very different to Juliet

@Silverbirchy if you want it pronounced a certain way, choose a different name, otherwise it's going to drive you barmy.

I don’t have to work it out. It’s how they are pronounced. Is that what you mean?
JULiet is pronounced with the emphasis on the Jool bit. The “iet” is swallowed - it almost makes it two syllables -JOOL-yet or JOOL-iet -very subtle three syllables.
JuliETTE is three syllables, with the emphasis on the ETTE. Jool-ee-ETTE.

JEW-liET

DD is Juliet and I put equal stress on the syllables, "Ju-li-et" unless telling her off when the "et" is more pronounced. I'll have to listen more to how others say it!

By coincidence I watched the film ´Letters to Juliet' a couple of days ago.

Vanessa Redgrave pronounces it like Julia but with a T on the end.

That's good enough for me!

julieeeeee -et

That's how I say it too. I don't say Harriet as Harry-et, Violet as Viol-et, Scarlett as Scarl-et, or Julia a Julie-ah

I pronounce it with equal stress. If I want to stress it, I say syllable in Juliet lauder since it's not natural for me to stress any syllable in Juliet.

Hmmm flatter as in Juliet Bravo. Or extended as in Juliette Binoche. Deffo different sounds.

They are both the same OP.

Dew- liet is how I pronounce it.

Some say:

Jewel-iet

@Theoldwoman , I'd say your versions as Doo-liet and Joo-el-iet

That makes absolutely no sense.

Dew-liet?? There's no 'd' in there.

@Theoldwoman , yours make no sense to me.
Dew has no J in it, and Jewel is two syllables:
[djuː]
[ˈdʒuːəl]
Juliet is [ˈdʒuːlɪɛt]

Juliet is JULIE-et

Juliette is Julie-ET

The latter has the emphasis on the ETTE

Yes. Just as @Reddahlias says it.

I think this thread has taught me I don't pronounce Julia the same way as you English people, let alone Juliet.

jew-lee-et

Which as far as I’ve experienced is how it’s always said in the Uk even if you spell it Juliette,.

Juliet and Juliette are different.
Juliette is three syllables with emphasis on ETTE.
Juliet is almost- not quite- two syllables with emphasis on JU. More like Jul-yet.

Juliet and Juliette are different

Just like

Isabel and Isabelle
Annabel and Annabelle

The former are the English spellings with the emphasis on the first syllable. The latter are French and emphasise the last syllable

Ive only ever heard it pronounced Juliet - as in Romeo and Juliet. No matter how many different ways people are trying to write it, I can't hear it any other way 🤷🏼‍♀️

Now I'm even more confused!

To me Juliet and Juliette are pronounced exactly the same!

To me
Isabel and Isabelle are pronounced the same
Annabel and Annabelle are pronounced the same
