Juliet or Penelope?

[KAM4]

Would so appreciate some baby name help! I’m living in the US and they have very different taste in names here so I’m struggling to get opinions (don’t want to ask my family/friends at home in case they hate both)
I’m due the day before Valentine’s Day and trying to decide this baby’s name, have narrowed it down to Juliet or Penelope. For context her brother is George. My husband prefers Penelope but seeing as I’ve done all the hard work and he is giving his surname I’m the decider.
Thanks in advance for the advice!

Penelope because penny is way better than Julie.

I think they are equally nice. I think Penelope (Penny/Nell) is better with George. Juliet and George sound a bit clunky when said together

Penelope is absolutely beautiful, Juliet is nice but really clashes with George

I definitely prefer Juliette. Have never considered this beautiful name to be shortened to Julie . Actually two of my best friends are called Julie and Julia so 🤷‍♀️

Two of my favourite girls names.

I would go with Penelope (Nell)

I think they’re both lovely. I prefer Penelope in itself but the Penny/Nell nicknames would really put me off

Awwww, Penny (Penelope) for sure. I forgot how beautiful the name is until I saw it written xxx

If you are into nicknames, Jet or Jettie works for Juliet and those go well with George I think.

(I have a Juliet so am biased!)

I think they are both lovely names!

I find Juliet much more beautiful (or Julia?), never been fond of Penelope. A bit 'jolly hockey sticks' as they used to say, and I find Penny dull.

Penelope is much nicer.

Both are lovely names. I have a George and I think I would go for Penelope as I prefer the nn’s (particularly Penny).

My children have very different names ,it never occurred to me to choose matching names . They have different personalities ,different interests!

Juliet all day<3

I like Juliette, I don't like Oenelope.

dont like Juliette being shortened, but I know I'd do it! (Don't mind Ettie too much though

I like Penny (& other options)

Both are nice.
I prefer Juliet or Julia

Penny is fine, though I would use nick name Polly or Poppy
Jules is sweet, Julie is gorgeous.

Juliet

Because much as I like Penelope it always gets shortened and I really don’t like the drippy Penny.

Most Juliets and Julias I know are called by their full names, although I quite like Julie anyway.

If you do use Penelope you could always impose Nell.

Prefer Juliet but don't like it said as Julie-ette and I don't like Jools/Jules for a girl, so Penelope. Use Juliet as a middle name.

Both lovely! Perhaps a tiny preference for Penelope when paired with George

Penelope/Penny isn't a pretty name name and getting really common nowadays. Growing up, i had a friend who had an older sister called Penelope. I didn't like the name then but she was the only one i ever knew. Now, i hear babies being named Penny regularly. Tuppence is an actual name which I think is v cute. Juliet/Juliette is a lovely name. If you want old names why not consider Kitty, Victoria, Sissy, Clarissa, Ariadne, Clara, Lucy, Sylvie/Sylvia, Joanie, Jeanie, Estelle/Stella, Audrey, Dolores, Dorothy, Margaret, Mary, Susannah...

Juliet is so beautiful

Juliette is beautiful

I really don't like Penny, even though I love Penelope. I like Nell very much, but Nellie is hideous. I'd have to avoid Penelope for that reason, I think.

Juliet is gorgeous, as long as it's pronounced correctly. It's not the same as Juliette. It's JOOL-yet, with the emphasis firmly on the first syllable, as in Romeo and...

Juliette is a French name which has the stress on the last syllable. It has quite a different vibe, much more frilly.

Also it could cause confusion with spelling. Even though OP has specified Juliet in her post, people are replying with the spelling Juliette.

As someone with a Juliet I don't find that people often misspell her name. A few people sure, but I also have a child with a more straightforwardly spelt name and still get errors with her name too. Not a major issue in my experience.

Love them both but slight preference for Penelope.
